reading comprehension about a musical school
a document I found in vocable and I prepared the questions. It starts with a discovery of the document then the pupils are asked to go a bit further in their understanding (and to get methods in doing so). Finally, there are 2 exercises to check they have understood.
At some point, I give some vocabulary and it�s in French.

How long ago did it happen ?
i use this as a transparency. First, the pupils need to guess what the picture is about using the simple past, then they need to ask a question using "how long ago..." and guess an answer. I usually divide them into groups so they have a small competition to be the closest to the correct answer. Then, we check the answer.
