"Catch me if you can"
- Warm-up
| Materials: |
Student
book (Study Bank) |
| Students: |
groups, in a circle |
| Rationale: |
Another memory game about adverbs |
| Method:
|
.Students
sit in circles and throw the item to each other, saying a "Feelings"
word (see Study Bank) as they do so. When a student can't say
a word, that student loses one point. No words can be repeated
during one turn. One student can be the umpire |
| Notes: |
Students have done some work on
similar words. This is a vocabulary-reinforcing memory game for
bringing these to the short-term memory |
Student's book page 120.
"The Best Person for the Job"- Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book; Interview Questions (homework, Lesson 2); Interview
role cards (Teachers' Resource). |
| Students: |
5 Groups, plus
5 interviewees |
| Rationale: |
Role-play; authentic interview
situations. |
| Method:
|
Students have had at least
a week to prepare the Interview questions (Lesson 2, homework).
They bring these to the lesson, and get into 4 or 5 groups (with
4 groups, one interviewee will always be waiting for an interview).
Stage 1: Role cards (Teacher's Resource) are issued to
the interviewees, and they leave the room to prepare for the interviews.
Remaining students prepare their questions.
Stage 2: Interviewees join the groups and are interviewed.
Stages 3, 4, 5: Interviewees change groups and are interviewed.
Stage 6: Interviewees leave the room, and groups decide
who will get the job. |
| Notes: |
Students who haven't done
the homework will have to share question sheets or take the part
of the interviewees. This can often be sufficient motivation to
have materials ready next time! The teacher might want to allocate
roles at the end of the previous lesson, so that students can
take time preparing for the interview. |

"Self-assessment"
Interview Quiz Homework:
| Materials: |
Student
book, Computer; Internet access; |
| Students: |
Singly, then pairs |
| Rationale: |
Self-assessment quiz;
Use of the Internet for studying English. |
| Method:
|
Method:
Students find
this address on the Internet: http://www.aitech.ac.jp/~iteslj/quizzes/9704/js-job.html
and perform the "job interview" quiz. This is a comprehension
test about Interview skills. |
| Notes: |
The reference to this
homework in the Student Book is at the bottom of the "Best
Person" page and can be easily overlooked. Students often
have heavy workloads, so this sort of homework is useful
as a self-motivated exercise rather than as a requirement for
the next lesson (as in the Interview Questions) |

Teacher's
Notes
- Lesson
5 -
IN THIS LESSON WE
NEED A STICKY LABEL FOR EACH STUDENT.
Student's book page 121.
"Jobs" - Warm-up:
| Materials:
|
Student
books. Sticky labels. |
| Students: |
Groups. |
| Rationale: |
Interesting Ice-breaker,
reviewing the names of jobs, and establishing the schema for the
lesson. |
| Method: |
When students come into
the room, they are each given a sticker by the teacher. They write
the name of an occupation on the sticker, and paste it on the
forehead of a classmate. Students then play "20 questions",
trying to find out the name of the occupation which is on their
forehead. |
| Notes: |
"Do I work indoors?"
"Do I work outdoors?"
"Do I work in an office?"
"Do I need to pass examinations?"
"Do I need computer skills?"
"Do I earn lots of money?"
"Do I work alone?"
|
Student's book page 121.
"Eye-to-eye" - Warm-up:
| Materials: |
Student
books |
| Students: |
Pairs |
| Rationale: |
Non-verbal communication. |
| Method: |
Students in pairs take
on the roles on the page. One student is the interviewer and one
the interviewee. The interviewer has two role cards (on the page),
so there are two stages: In Stage 1 the interviewer pays full
attention to the interviewee, who is speaking about one of three
topics. In Stage 2, however, he/she looks away from the interviewee
and pays no attention. Students should talk about how they felt
about these 2 stages, once they have completed the activity. |
| Notes: |
This activity is intended
to help students appreciate the importance of non-verbal communication
in all interactions, especially in the Interview situation. |

"Rehearsal" Project
work:
| Materials: |
Students'
books. |
| Students: |
Groups |
| Rationale: |
Project rehearsal. |
| Method: |
Students rehearse whatever
they have produced so far. Alternatively they can rehearse an
activity in the book (e.g. :The Best Person", Lesson 4). |
| Notes:
|
When students become familiar
with the idea of making Projects, lessons become a time to touch
base and coordinate out-of-class preparation. When students want
direction or inspiration, the Alternative Schedule is there to
provide a base for them. |

"Performance"
- Project-work:
| Materials: |
Student
book; Various |
| Students: |
Groups |
| Rationale: |
Project performance. |
| Method:
|
Students
perform whatever they have prepared. They also evaluate their
own and the other groups' performances ("How was the Project?"
- Study Bank, Part 4). Those who have prepared a project will
hopefully get a lot out of performing it, also encouraging
others to have more confidence next time. |

"Self-Assessment
of the Project"
| Materials: |
Student
book. |
| Students: |
Singly |
| Rationale: |
Ongoing self-assessment. |
| Method:
|
Students reflect
on their input to this project. |
| Notes: |
The practice
of filling in self-assessment sheets should continue through the
course, giving students an ongoing chart of their abilities as
they perceive them. |
