Future plans questions

Teaching notes

Twelve questions about the future, from tonight and tomorrow morning to next summer and ten years from now. They practice the present continuous for arrangements ("What are you doing tonight?"), "going to" for plans and "will" for predictions, at A2.

Open a box and ask learners to answer with the same form as the question, then talk about which form fits and why. In pairs, learners ask each other the question and add one follow-up ("Who with?", "Why?"), then report back: "Lena is going to visit her cousins next summer." For a quick review, ask the class to sort the opened questions by form. Switch it to Speaking cards or Spin the wheel, or print the list for written answers.
