Homework: AB38/1-3

Competition: Students competed against each other in writing the correct past continuous verb forms with pronouns (I/She/He was walking. You/They/We were talking.)

Game: Students played Baamboozle where they had to decide which verb form they needed to complete the sentence (past simple vs past continuous). We also played a game to practice identifying our new disaster vocabulary. 

Song: Students sang a song about disasters. 

Homework: AB37/1-2

Summary: Today we reviewed past simple verbs and introduced past continuous verbs (we were walking, I was thinking, etc.). We also began discussing disasters.

Real life practice: Students discussed their favourite places in Prague (Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Skate Park Vlatska, McDonalds in Smíchov Mall, etc) and then they explained why they picked it, how to get there, and what you can do there.
