Atividade 3

 

 

Depois da introdução do tema, pergunte aos alunos se eles, utilizando-se de seus conhecimento prévios, são capazes de dar outros exemplos de phrasal verbs, construindo suas próprias frases. Escreva os exemplos dados pelos alunos no quadro. 

 

Em seguida, projete mais exemplos e peça para que destaquem os phrasal verbs. Questione os alunos se conseguem entender o significado de cada exemplo dado. 

 

Daniel is looking for a new apartment. Can you help him?
 

What time do you usually get up?

 

Do you get on with your neighbors?

 

Please sit down and wait for the doctor. 

Wake up! You’re late for school! She gave up smoking last year.

Ana took her clothes off and had a shower.

Hurry up! We’ll miss the flight!

 

Atividade 4

 

Phrasal verbs dialogue

 

Entregue o seguinte material xerocopiado e organize os alunos em duplas. Disponibilize um tempo de aproximadamente 15 minutos para que realizem uma leitura silenciosa.

Peça para que, em seguida, sublinhem todos os phrasal verbs encontrados no diálogo. Circule pela sala, tirando as dúvidas em relação a pronúncia correta das palavras e ao vocabulário. Possibilite acesso a dicionários eletrônicos ou impressos.

Escreva no quadro todos os phrasal verbs destacados pelos alunos. Promova uma discussão sobre o significado de cada um deles, atentando-se, sempre, para o contexto em que foram usados. 

Finalmente, peça para que cada dupla encene o diálogo e apresente para todo o grupo. O professor deverá ficar atento à pronúncia correta das palavras, corrigindo-as, se necessário.  

 

Two friends are driving to a party.They have a conversation with many phrasal verbs.

John: You just went by her house. You should turn around and go back.

Bob: I don't think that was her house. I'm going to go on.

John: I looked up the address on the map. It's between Seventh Street and Eighth Street.

Bob: Fine, I'll turn the car around.

John: Now we have to figure out where to park.

Bob: Turn off the radio so I can concentrate on parking.

John: But I love this song! It wakes me up.

Bob: You're starting to tire me out. Could you quiet down and help me look for parking?

John: Lighten up. Hey, there's a parking spot!

Bob: Sorry, I'm just a little worked up. I broke up with my girlfriend last night.

John: You split up with Alice?

Bob: Yeah. We'd been going out for three years. We had a fight and she kicked me out. Now I have to move out and figure out where to live. I totally messed up.

John: I'm sorry. You can hang out at my place until you find an apartment.

Bob: Thanks. I can always count on you.

John: Well, cheer up. I'm sure you can meet someone new at the party. It's time to move on.

MÓDULO 2

 

Atividade 1

 

Para esta atividade, organize novamente a turma em duplas. Você mesmo pode sugerir a organização, tomando cuidado para que as duplas não sejam as mesmas da atividade anterior e, desse modo, promovendo uma maior interação entre todos os alunos. 

Distribua para cada dupla um dos diálogos a seguir, nos quais dois phrasal verbs em diferentes contextos de uso são utilizados. Os alunos deverão ler silenciosamente e, em seguida, apresentar o diálogo para o grupo. Em cada diálogo há dois phrasal verbs em destaque. Verifique se os alunos conseguem entendê-los e solucione possíveis dúvidas.

“Thanks! I can’t believe I pulled it off.”

“You look fantastic! Have you been working out? (= exercising)”

It was difficult to _________ all the information. And now she was going on her first dig.

The next day she got up early and drove to the airport. Her plane had just _________ when hijackers _________ the plane.
