To begin class we will watch this video about jobs, and then discuss the following questions in pairs or small groups.
- What are some of the best and worst jobs you can think of?
- What did you want to be when you were a child?
- What kind of job do you want to get in the future? What kind of tasks will you have to do?
- If every job paid the same amount of money, which job would you prefer to do?
- Do you think what job someone has determines who they are?
- If you have children would you ever dissuade them from choosing a particular career?
- Artistic performer e.g. musician / actor
- Journalist
- Doctor
- Soldier
- Footballer
This will lead into speaking part 2 exam practice.
Following on we will then complete listening part 2 on page 146.
We will play a Kahoot to learn some idioms related to work.
In the second part of the class we will change the topic.
If you think you know who Pac-Man, Mario and Lara Croft are, this is a lesson for you. It’s based on a short history of video gaming and top 7 games that shaped that industry. To start we will discuss in small groups some warm-up discussion questions that introduce the topic. Next we will look at synonyms. Students will match up pairs of words they’ll need to know before watching the video. We will then complete a listening comprehension based on the video and also look at some fixed expressions and idioms that come up. To finish the class we will have a class discussion and debate based on the topic.
