Hey guys,
This is my third year running this lesson and I think I've finally figured out how to make it enjoyable for the students- as with everything, make it a game.
I start by going through the PowerPoint, explaining that they should use the future tense to describe a celebrity's schedule. The catch is however, they must include clues about which celebrity they are in the schedule, but never actually say the person's name. There are a few examples in the powerpoint so the students catch on pretty quickly. After a student guesses the first example in my PowerPoint I usually give them some candy, this gets everyone's attention.
I have them work in pairs and distribute one schedule to each pair (half a sheet). They have a good part of the class to choose a celebrity and fill in their schedule. With the last bit of class each pair comes to the front and presents their schedule, I usually give candy to whichever student figures out the answer.
Make sure you tell them to keep their celebrity a secret until it's their turn to present, otherwise it's no fun! Hope this works out for you, it's been working well for me!
