Suggested activities

 

Oral and Written Comprehension

Step 1

▪The teacher will introduce the vocabulary for this lesson by writing it on the board.
▪The teacher will ask the students to identify the vocabulary words that they do not know. Then, the teacher will provide the respective translation of the unfamiliar vocabulary in English.
▪The teacher will ask the students to get together in pairs to practice the vocabulary. Student "A" asks Student “B," who answers to the questions. Later, the students switch roles so that both can ask and answer the questions in the vocabulary.

Oral Expression

Step 2

▪Once the students have practiced the vocabulary in pairs, the teacher will ask them to form groups of 4 to perform the following role-play:
Characters:
Student “A” is a friend of Student “B.”
Student “C” is a friend of Student “D.”
Student "A" and "C" are friends too, but Student "A" does not know Student "D."
Student "C" knows Student "B," but Students "B" and "D" do not know each other.

Scenario:
One day, four of the students met at the park and took the opportunity to greet and introduce themselves to each other. Student "A" introduces Students "C" and "D" to his friend, Student "B."
Student "C" introduces Students "A" and "B" to his friend, Student "D."
-To create an interactive conversation and get to know each other, students can ask simple questions about their personal data. Finally, the students will say goodbye.
Note: Teacher reinforces that all the previous vocabulary are integrated in the role play. (Students need to rehearse the role-play so as to present without any footnotes because they are responsible for being familiar with the vocabulary list).

Step 3

▪The teacher will play an audio for the students to attentively listen. The audio will contain a short dialogue of a group of individuals introducing themselves and each other.
▪The teacher will ask the students to do Exercise # 25 of the workbook.
