Student's book page 55. "Me-bag?-
Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (click here to see the student's
page) |
| Students: |
Groups |
| Rationale: |
Personal conversations based on
memories, evoked by certain items. |
| Method: |
One person takes something out
of his/her "Me-bag"
and talks about it. Others can ask questions. The aim is to have
students talking about events which have made a mark upon their
lives, along with the items which help them to remember those
events. |
| Notes: |
Students
can initiate the conversation, or other students can choose
items out of bags and ask what they represent. This can be an
interesting activity, sparking off conversations of the type
which will be useful in the Chat Show itself. This technique
could even be used in the chat Show.

book page 55. "Gestures"
- Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
book (click here to see the student
page)
message cards (Teachers?Resources).
|
| Students: |
Everyone |
| Rationale: |
Body Language - non-verbal
communcation |
| Method: |
The teacher puts a message on the
back of each student. Each student must then find another student
to explain the message without saying anything, using only gestures
and body language. When the message has been guessed, students
write it in their books. |
| Notes: |
This can be performed in addition
to "Me-bag" or in place of that
activity. All activities in the Alternative Schedule are flexible
in terms of when and whether they are used. |

Project-work:

"Host cards"; "Guest cards"
(Teacher's Resource
1) (Teacher's
Resource 2). |
| Students: |
Groups or pairs |
| Rationale: |
Focusing attention |
| Method: |
The teacher gives students a "host
card" or a "Guest card". The Guest then speaks
on a topic mentioned on the card, and the Host pays attention
in a manner according to his/her card. |
| Notes: |
Students are encouraged to think
about the influence of the listener on the speaker. Eye contact
and body language can be important in helping to make an atmosphere
conducive to open conversation. |

"Janis 1" Listening homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book (click here to see the student
page)
Cassette tape; Audio/Visual
Library. |
| Students: |
Singly, then pairs |
| Rationale: |
This listening activity encourages
students to listen to an interview and to elicit key words. |
| Method: |
Students go to the Audio/Visual
library, find the correct tape and perform the task. They will
need to play it a number of times to find all the missing words,
so there will be a chance to learn how to use the equipment. |
| Notes: |
The script of the interview is
in the Student book (p.
186). These homeworks are designed
to help with the projects, but teachers might want to suggest
other ways of preparing out of class. |
