My materials for chapter 3
Part A introduce the chapter and start listening, and do the unscramble worksheet (slightly adapted fromToribird above) to have them practice the giving instructions part. Then we moved on to the Are you good
? / Do you know how to
? part, going through examples on the PPT.
For my low-level classes, we just did basic action Pictionary / charades, having groups answer with a target question. My higher levels did the instructions speed game, in the PPT show them four scrambled sentences, which they must unscramble on the mini-whiteboards, and then number them in the correct order.
Part B review the previous lesson, and do the Focus In listening part, practicing with the relative pronoun examples in the PPT. We then finished off listening on page 49, and played Go Fish. Its a bit of a mission to print / laminate the cards, but this game is a winner with all levels.
Part C review / time-killer class. We started off with the pronunciation game, based on Say It Right on page 49 one student comes to the front and reads 4 words on a piece of paper, while a bunch of minimal pairs are displayed on the PPT. Students must listen and write down the number for the words they hear.
Low-level classes did Mysterybox
Higher level classes did the Apple Swan activity. I had printed and cut out the instructions into strips of paper, and gave one set to each group. Then we watched the video -
