Unit 16 covers two important grammar points: conditionals and reported speech. Conditionals are sentences that usually express an \"if/then\" relationship. There are 5 conditionals: zero, first, second, third, and mixed. Each has a different form and usage, and they are used in referring to a range of possibilities from scientific certainty to situations unlikely to ever be true. I found the best way to get a grip on conditionals was to create my own table which shows, for each conditional, the certainty (or uncertainty) of the situation, the usages, and sample sentences. Teachinng ideas were useful, esp. the exercise of \"Chain Conditionals.\" The Reported Speech section was, to my mind, excellent. Again I created a simplified guide that gave examples for each tense. I want to also mention how helpful the tasks at the back of this unit were! CompletingTask 6, which called for a Lesson Plan on Reported Speech, game me some great insights into how to structure my Study and Activate phases. Perhaps the most important thing I learned through it was that I can't inundate students with too much information on one day. Better to go slowly, practice and review!
