Blank Mind Map about Reported Speech





Students find Reported Speech a bit difficult because they have to think about the changes in the whole sentences and they can't do it in a mechanic way such as in another grammar structures.


The point with this blank mind map is to motivate them while they are practicing the most basic facts about Reported Speech. That is why it includes some pictures that are very common in their dailylives such as football, Xbox, eating, cooking, etc.




As it is simple, this reported speech blank mind map is just to practice statements. I will make another about questions, request and commands. But this one also includes some adverbs that they have to change and are very common in reported speech.


This activity can be done in groups or individually. It depends on the teacher and if the class is divided in groups or not.




Hope you like it!

It is very common in English conversations to finish the sentences with short questions to show interest. This is called Question Tag.


Question tags are very easy to learn and use, but they have to be explained very clearly at the beginning as well as praccticed to create confidence in the students to learn them.

 I found this prezi when I wanted to explained them to my students this years, and although I think it was very good, I included some pictures and examples to make them guess the rules and structure. I also completed it with some exercises because it is very important to practice it.


It is a bit long, but it is worth the time, because the students understand it very well. Here you have th link, hope you enjoy it:
