Missisabelonline Youtube Channel: The Thrill Glasses Series

Este canal de YouTube, que está en progreso, inició una playlist tras la pandemia para alumnado de secundaria con dificultades, pero interesado en aprender los aspectos importantes del inglés. Las explicaciones, cortas y básicas, son en castellano y con muchos ejemplos. Se intenta (y espero se consiga) un tono humorístico con la metáfora de las gafas de la ilusión. Estas gafas ficticias son imprescindibles para el  trabajo que requiere aprender el idioma. 

El inglés no es difícil, el inglés no se te da mal. Simplemente, y alguien te lo tenía que decir, no estudias lo suficiente. Espero poder ayudarte en esta noble gesta con la playlist de las Gafas de la Ilusión "The Thrill Glasses" 

¡Póntelas y a aprender se ha dicho! Bring it on, Isabel!!!!

The Irregular Verb Project

If you are trying to learn one of the most feared grammar aspects: Irregular verbs! and don't know how, TRY THE FOLLOWING METHOD. It is both easy and effective. Let's do it!

We are resolved to stand up for a meaningful learning of these troublesome friends. Therefore, we will analyse them, classify them depending on their form and group them in colours for a better understanding and memorization.

SESSION ONE

a) Pair work: After a first analysis of the verbs' list, write down the different groups you and your partner are able to spot.

b) Group work: Whole class discussion to reach a consensus and stablish a set number of groups.

Students try to classify all the verbs from their list using the grouping suggested. We will see how effective or defective our proposals are.

SESSION TWO

a) Group work: After adjusting any deficiencies, the class will list irregular verbs into separate pieces of paper according to verb behaviour and will assign one given colour to each group.***

b) Individual work: Students will highlight each verb on their workbook list using the chosen colour.

***(The students' proposals were:

-Vowel Change

-Same form for the three verbs

-Same base but different past and past participle

-Different base but same past and past participle

-All three forms are different)

FINAL PRODUCT

a) Each student will design a customised Irregular Verb Booklet to revise and consult the content in the future.

For quicker lesson plannings, you can present this lesson via similar content-based pins from Pinterest or espressoenglish ;)

MODAL VERBS VIDEO LESSON using the Flipped Classroom.

Hello class!

Before we see all the grammar juice in class, you can do your part by checking out this lesson on your own and at your own pace. REMEMBER TO JOT DOWN QUESTIONS FOR ME ;)

The first video you will have to watch is the presentation of MODAL VERBS: What are they and how they are used in sentences. Pay special attention;

As you have already seen in the video and just like you studied last year, modal verbs can express different meanings. Even the same modal verb can mean differen things! I will post now a very short video lessons to illustrate that:

Modal Verbs can be used in their PERFECT FORM, which includes the following structure: 

S + MODAL + HAVE + V3 (past participle) + COMPLEMENTS. This funny guy will explain much better than me :D

Finally, to help you aout with a different point of view, I will post a presentation where modals are grouped by their meaning. Right after, you will find links to practice all the grammar you have been studying.
