What do we report exactly? *Pronunciation, T asks a ss to read a sentence n°7, "What did she say on the phone to Mr Findlater?". T highlights the intonation and drill the sentence [She said that he had a tattoo of an owl on his hand] with backchaining. *To highlight the form, ss on their papers/notebooks, write the direct speech of the sentences provided in part2 of the text. Do the first example on the board and underline the tenses to emphasize the shift. Then SS finish the table on p106 to know how to use tenses. (with the teacher's help if necessary)

*SS stand in a line, they're going to report speech to each other. SS1 says a speech and SS need to report it to each other and the last one should write what he received. Then the last SS should go the first and restart

T will provide different topics and ss will pick randomly. SS can prepare their speeches about the topic they picked. SS will be divided into three groups, two people talking and a messenger. The messenger will report their speeches. Then switch roles, one of the talkers becomes a messenger.
