How did you structure the class?

- Pairwork with idiomatic expressions using body parts. The students have to find the definition of the idiomatic expressions.
- Dominos’ game with “diseases, wounds, infections” (see handout in the other .docx file)

What worked well in this class? What did not work?
Everything worked fine: idiomatic expressions were a little bit difficult but it enhances the group work and the discussion between people so I wouldn’t change anything. It was good to give the students some autonomy and see how they solve the exercise.
How could this class be improved/ modified?
For the role-play, ask the students to add some idiomatic expressions they learnt too so the activity becomes even more efficient and coherent within the class.
