Class one:
Today we will talk about family and look at useful expressions that are related to this topic.
Students will:
- Learn new fixed phrases by asking and answering questions about family in small groups. To follow up, students will match the expressions and definitions to create a written record for future use.
- We will then discuss our family and our heritage, and what students know about their family tree.
- Students will watch a video about various citizens of the world taking a DNA test, and discuss the results of the tests.
- We will finish class with speaking exam practice.
Homework: page 116-117
Class two:
Today we will focus on parts 3 and 4 of the speaking exam.
Students will:
- Begin by revising the relevant communicative language they will need in this part of the exam by “speed discussing” various topics.
- We will then practise part 3 of the exam in pairs or small groups. While one group speaks, the other groups will mark them.
- This will follow onto part 4 of the exam in which students speak more broadly about the topics of part 3. Again, the students will peer mark.
Homework:
Students were given an exam paper to complete at home. For those not able to attend class, this homework will be given out next Thursday.
