I felt terrible this morning and I couldn't think what to do with my class this afternoon. But although they were bored to start with, I branched off into something that really took their attention because they didn't know it, (gerund or infinitive) and it seemed to answer some questions for them. So teaching them grammar, which I am not really meant to do but I squeeze it in when it seems opportune, is actually very worthwhile. It also introduces other topics for conversation.
I was also pleased that, last minute, I had made a good decision about which way to take the lesson. They were drifting off into boredom but I pulled them back again in the nick of time.
