What is your dream about?


Tell your students that they are going to pretend they are dream analyzers and they are going to evaluate their classmates’ dreams. Divide your group into pairs and tell them to get prepared to ask other students about dreams they can remember. Guide them to write down just keywords as “door”, “cat”, “river”. After listing a few keywords, tell your students to access the link below:


In this website, it is possible to search keywords and symbols in a dream dictionary. Tell the students to search every word they listed, and write the best meaning they find 
(e.g. : "Cat – unlucky" "Door – big changes").

Next, they have to work together and write a dream interpretation paragraph to report to the student they have asked in the beginning of this activity.
The grammar point is that the students must use first conditionals in order to write their interpretation.

E.G.: “If you dream of a river and a door, you will have a joyful change in your life.”


The interviewed students will be looking forward to receive their results. This interaction is very productive and the students feel very motivated and involved, but more importantly, they are learning “if clauses” in a fun way!
