Aim:
Research Game & Three Things Game T invites everyone in the class to the centre of the
room. T says, "If you are more like a book, go to the right of the room. If you are more like a
movie, go the left of the room." Once the group is separated, invite everyone to look around to
see who has shared interests.
Then T asks each group to choose three things (real or abstract) that they want in their story
e.g. 'Father Christmas', 'me' and 'a huge present'. Then the other group is asked to instantly
tell a short story with these three things in it. The first group has then to come up with a short
story for the second group with the three things they have chosen.
This game also introduces the topic of the unit as it uses imagination and creativity.
Time 8’
Procedure: 1 This introduces students to the theme of the article which follows.
Pre-listening
T asks Ss to predict the content of the listening exercise taking into consideration the title of
the unit, subheading and pictures. What will it be about? What will the context be like? Who
will they hear speaking?
Then Ss are asked to read through the questions and think about the type of information that is
missing in each one. Is it an object, a place, a person or a number?
Listening
Ss listen to the recording and try to complete the gaps. T allows Ss to compare answers in
pairs before playing it for the second time. T draws their attention to the fact that each answer
is a single word or a very short phrase.
ANSWERS Ex1. 1 art festival, 2 pattern, 3 window dresser, 4 travel agency, 5 eighty percent,
6 glass, 7 farmers, 8 work-shops.
Post-listening activity
Ss listen again and try to find words with the meanings elicited at ex 3 on p 80
Time 17’
Procedure : T goes over the expressions and asks one or two of the Ss to pronounce them.
T goes through the pictures with the class to check that everyone is clear what kinds of
exhibits are shown in each. Then Ss are asked to work in pairs and report their decision to the
T after 5minutes.
T monitors the Ss’ speaking so that any basic errors can be corrected at the end.
Class discussions will continue in trying to answer questions related to art such as What kind
of art do you like and why? Can you give examples of masterpieces?
T divides the class into groups of 4 and asks them to describe in detail the pictures handed
out. The pictures are copies of famous masterpieces.
Three Things Game2 T invites the two groups that were established at the beginning of the
lesson to choose three things related to this lesson’s topic. Then T asks each group to create a
poem with those items.
