 Re: Interview - observed lesson help!!

My question is, therefore, could anyone suggest any small areas of grammar I could do with such a group for the observed 20 min lesson? I was hoping for areas that are quite often confused or things such as the differences between "I will" and "I'm going to".
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, 
Cheers in advance!
Beth | Why don't you just give them something to write, containing 20 different tenses, with a time limit of 20 minutes, then just sit and observe them?
That'll get your observed 20 minute lesson over, and you will have only said about 20 words, at the same time your observers will think what a clever young lady you are.  |
