Family tree

1- Previously we'd learnt the vocabulary related to "members of the family" ("Learning chocolate"), practising pronunciation and focusing on the family outline.
2- Groups of three students: student1 draws student3's family tree, and student2 asks student3 questions about his/her family.
3- Two students and I roleplayed the dialogue and draw my family tree in front of the rest of the class, so the other students could understand the aim of the group work.
4- Brainstorming (possible questions to be asked):
What's your .............. 's name? / Have you got any ......................? / Are you married?
5- Teams played their roles. Once they'd drawn the first family tree, they exchanged roles and drew the other students' family trees.
6- Each team introduced each of its members' family to the rest of the class.
7- I recorded them while working.
