Activity 2a Work in pairs. Ask and answer. Complete Malika‟s timeline. 10 min

Objective: to give practice in talking about happenings in a person‟s lifetime

STEP 1: Explain to the pupils what the life timeline is. Introduce the new words “timeline” and “happen”. Like the one in the picture draw a horizontal line on the board, put a dot a little further from the starting point of the line, write a date under the dot, draw a vertical line above the dot and write a „happening‟. Put another dot a little further from the first dot, write another date under it, draw a vertical line under the date and write another „happening‟, etc. Help the pupils understand that a timeline helps you know when something happened.

STEP 2: Info gap activity. The pupils work in pairs. Ask Pupil A to look at the timeline on Page 34, and Pupil B on Page

STEP 3: Ask the pupils copy their timelines into their exercise books.

STEP 4: Then explain that they should ask and answer in turn as shown in the example and complete the missing information.
