Hi all,

I have attached my first lesson for this chapter. I used some slides from a previous poster. Thanks!
 It is a very involved lesson that requires a lot of student participation. I have taught it twice and it went really really well both times ~~ my classes are pretty advanced.

The first slide is just a warm-up that i do at the beginning of every class. I give double-word points for any word containing the golden letter.


For the vocabulary portion, I ask the students to express the meaning of each word using their own english definitions. And then I give them a few minutes to complete the first part of the worksheet.

Next i go over the key expressions and tell them that i will explain them futher later.
After going through the examples, I ask for 3 students to give their own examples using each expression. I write them on the board and have the students recite them. They really enjoy being able to ask me questions and engage in conversation.

Finally, I have them complete the last part of the worksheet. I like to tell them to do one comic at a time so that we can go through examples in between. This lesson took exactly 45 minutes =)


hope this helps!

"You know _____, don't you?" Famous people Quiz
Using a PPT from another poster, but have changed it to suit the key expressions from Lesson 9.

This is great! Was wondering what to do for my class, so thanks.

Thanks jlepeyman and lenaveronica for your materials!!  You had me covered for my first class for this lesson!  In this powerpoint I've included the speaking activities and the real life scene.  I've also included material for the chapter's song "Hello" by Lionel Richie.

niamh92smith, thank you for making such an awesome famous people ppt. I loved the idea so much that I made a set of famous people cards. I divide the class into groups of four and then handout the sets of cards. First person picks up a card and asks the player on thier left, "You know _____, don't you." If they can say "Yes, he's a famous ____." Then they can keep the card. If they don't know they must say, "I haven't got a clue." and the card goes to the bottom of the pile. Play until there are no cards left. It's a fairly simple game but it should be a good time filler if you need one.

Please note that I did not feel like explaining the difference between Prime Minister and President and so my cards have British and Canadian Presidents. Feel free to change this :)

This is for Speaking Part B. I couldn't find any relevant activities that really fit so I modified a Where's Waldo/Wally activity from a Detective Camp post and created a worksheet for it.

Hope you find this useful! 

ETA: It should be self explanatory, but show PPT and have your students find the items/people on the worksheet.

My materials for this chapter -

Part A- introduction with some constellations, cover the 'You know..., don't you?' part (the Obama / Trump slides were put in before the election..!) Finished the first page of listening, and played the famous people hotseat game

Part B - review, do the crossword worksheet, and using the key expressions do a quick spelling quiz, calling on individual students to spell words from the chapter (I only had time for 4 or 5 words). My level A's then did the 'Make a constellation' worksheet', and level B's played a slightly edited version of the trashball game from jiepeyman above
