https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress_(viral_phenomenon) - Which colors did you see when you first looked at this picture?
---
p. 12 part 2 - With your partner, decide which word is correct for each definition, and then tell if you think of a color connected with this word.
1 prosperity - prosperous
2 luck - lucky
3 courage - courageous
4 wisdom - wise
5 knowledge - knowledgeable (strange, because usually “able” goes on verbs, not nouns)
6 sadness - sad
7 mourning - mournful
8 envy - envious
(The words in the book are nouns. What are the adjectives?)
---
https://www.translatemedia.com/translation-blog/colour-culture-similarities-differences/ - Image and article about the meanings of different colors in different cultures.
---
p. 10 - Read the article “Life in color”. With your partner, think of some other ways we use color for these purposes.
identity: uniforms, flags and national colors, face paint, tattoos
decoration: costumes, holiday colors, events (birthdays, weddings)
messages: warning signs, caution, traffic lights, white flag, traffic signs
---
Grammar: simple present and present continuous
What tense is the “Identity” paragraph?
- simple present, because it’s about things that are always true or happen repeatedly
What tense is most of the “Decoration” paragraph?
- present continuous, because it’s about things happening right now (or in the picture)

Form of simple present
+	I study here. She studies here.
-	I don’t study here. She doesn’t study here.
? y/n	Do you study here? Does she here?
	Yes, I do. / No, I don’t. Yes, she does. / No, she doesn’t.
? info	Why do you study here? Why does she study here?
(subject question: Who studies here? - the question is about the subject “who”, no “does”)

Form of present continuous
+	I am taking a class. She is taking a class. They are taking a class.
- 	I’m not taking a class. She’s not taking a class. They’re not taking a class.
? y/n	Am I taking a class? Is she taking a class? Are they taking a class?
	Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t. Yes, they are. / No, they aren’t.
? info	Why am I taking a class? Why is she taking a class? Why are they taking a class?
	(subject question: Who is taking a class?)

Stative (non-action) verbs = verbs that don’t take any time and just describe a state or condition, not an action
	I have 100 books. I know 1000 things.
	(normal, because it doesn’t take any time to have or know things)
Dynamic (action) verbs = verbs that take some time and describe an action
	I am reading 100 books. I am thinking about 1000 things.
	(strange, because it takes time to read and think about things, so it’s probably not possible)
---
p. 11 part 6 - Put the stative verbs from the box into the correct category. Can you add more?
thoughts/mental processes: believe, understand, mean, suppose, know, think (if it means “believe”), trust
the senses: hear, sound, taste, feel, look, see, smell
emotions: want, love, need, (belong), like, dislike, hate, desire
possession: have, belong, contain, possess, own
---
Sense words for the action you do when you pay attention:

p. 11 part 8 - Which time expressions usually go with which tense (simple present or present continuous)?
simple present: on weekends, every day, never, always, usually, often
present continuous: right now, this month, this week, at the moment, this fall, today

When you call me, I am always eating dinner.
I am usually eating dinner when you call.
et cetera (etc.) = and so on
- We can use frequency adverbs with present continuous, if we’re comparing two different actions.
---
p. 13 part 8 - Complete the “Quiz” questions with the correct words.

1 do (“Where do they come from?” - “come” is the verb, so we need “do” for the question)

3 is
4 is
yellow
1 does (“What does the festival celebrate?” - “celebrate” is the verb, and “festival” is singular -> “does”)
2 Which/What
