This is my fourth class with Intermediate English I

I prepared a class in which they were going to have practice with phrasal verbs. This topic is very wide and requires the students to have lots of practice due to the large quantity of phrasal verbs. I tried to develop activities addressing the most common phrasal verbs.

I started my class with a warm up in which the students had to guess the phrasal verbs that their classmates mimed. They really had fun doing this and some of them got easily the phrasal verbs I showed.

There are some students that really feel frustrated when studying phrasal verbs because they are hard to memorize. However, I used context and discussions so they can use them in conversations.

I have them use the verbs turn down and ask out when discussing the reasons why women turn down somebody’s invitation when he asks them out. They discussed this and shared their opinion with the whole class.My last class ended well because they could construct sentences using many phrasal verbs.

We also talked about stress and the ways to avoid it. They read sixteen ways to avoid it and in each, there was a phrasal verb included. They also added some more suggestions and discovered the meaning of each verb by reading each suggestion. The class went quite well but my students were not paying attention too much. I called their attention and I they finally worked well.
