This week we finished working on the texts about Picasso and Hemingway. Students had to underlined all the verbs in passive voice that they found in the texts and write their own sentences with them. All of them were in the past tense because that´s what we are learning. We are learning the tenses we need to tell a story:  past simple, past continuous and past perfect. We can find the same tenses, but in passive, like:

It was given to me.

The dogs were not being fed.

She had not been told about the earthquake.

In our last lesson we were talking about books and films that we had enjoyed. Each student had to think about a film or book and the other ones had to ask the following questions:

What´s it called?
Who wrote it?
Who directed it?
Who starred in it?
Who are the main characters?
What´s it about?
Where does it take place?
Why do you like it?

Firts we were practicing the pronunciation of those questions and then we were using them in context. Students were also allowed to make different questions if they wanted. It was quite interesting and I, myself, had the chance to learn a few things.

By the way, the film director I was talking about, the one whose name I couln´t remember, is Gracia Querejeta. Her father, the film producer who died last year, I believe, was Elias Querejeta.

Homework

Write a conversation between two friends or more about books or films. You should mention at least 2 works (books or films) and you can use the questions we were practicing during the lesson.
