have brainstormed in 5. Divide the class into two large groups. A student from the first group
reads aloud a sentence for a student from the second group to answer. The group with more
correct answers wins.
+ PROJECT PREPARATION
- Although the project is at the end of the unit, Ss can start preparing for it in the first lesson.
The aim of this activity is to inform Ss about the final product of the project and how they can
prepare for it.
- Ask Ss to open their books to the last page of Unit 1, the Project section, look at the pictures
and say what the topic of the project is (What to change in our community).
- Explain the project requirements: In groups, Ss will interview some Ss from their class or from
other classes about the changes they want to make in their community, using the questions
provided.
- They then analyse the answers from their friends and report the findings to their class. They
can use a poster or PowerPoint slides to present their findings. In this case, their slides or
posters should include a mixture of text and tables, graphs, or pictures so that T and other
classmates can easily follow and understand their findings.
Show them how to collect and analyse the answers. Here are the steps T can follow: (See
TEACHER’S BOOK )
5. WRAP-UP & HOME WORK (2’)
+ Ask one or two Ss to tell the class what they have learnt. Draw Ss' attention to the objectives
on the board or show them the slide with the objectives. Tick the objectives that have been
learnt.
Ask Ss to say aloud some words they remember from the lesson.
If there is a projector in the classroom, then T should show the conversation and highlight the
keywords related to the topic. It would be helpful if T also highlights in the conversation the
sentences with question words before for-infinitives {We didn't know where to buy stuff for our
house.) and the phrasal verbs {get on, remind... of) together with the words with the sounds
/as/, /a:/, and /e/.Tell Ss that they will learn these language points in the upcoming lessons.
* HOME WORK:

- Prepare new lesson: Lesson 2: A CLOSER LOOK 1 .
