Student's book page 69. "Email" - Homework:

Materials: Student book (click here to see the student page); Computer
Students: Pairs
Rationale: Written communication; use of email; individual responsibility for carrying out assignments.
Method:

Students send an email to the person who is TWO places in front of them on the list of phone and email addresses (Introduction Project). A copy of the email should be sent to the teacher.

Notes:

Email is a great means of communication and students can exchange information quickly and conveniently once they are used to it. If they can do so in English, they will be building the sort of computer skills that will help them in the future. Students are asked to send a copy of the messages to the teacher, but it is left up to him/her as to how strict he/she wants to be about monitoring these.
