Activity 1 Listen and repeat. Objective: to warm up
Play the DVD. Ask the pupils to listen to the song "The wheels of the bus..." and sing it together with the DVD.


DVD script: See Unit 12 Lesson 1 Activity 1 for the DVD script.


Activity 2 Look and listen. Objectives: to check homework; to practise listening for detailed information.

STEP 1: Collect all the drawings (without texts) that the pupils did at home on sheets of paper and put them on the poster or on the wall.

STEP 2: Ask the pupils read their descriptions from their WB in turns. The class must listen & guess the pictures.


Activity 3 Look and write. Objective: to recycle the comparative degree of adjectives with the types of transport STEP 1: Ask the pupils to look at the pictures of a: bus, minivan, plane, train, bike, motorbike, car, helicopter, horse. STEP 2: Ask the pupils to open their Workbooks at Page 62 and look at Activity 3. Explain that they must compare the types of transport and write "faster" or "slower" where appropriate.


Answer keys: Planes are faster than trains. Motorbikes are faster than bikes. Helicopters are slower than planes. Trains are faster than horses. Tractors are slower than cars.


Activity 4 Play "Fast, faster, the fastest".
Objective: to consolidate the simple, comparative and superlative degrees of adjective s with the types of transport STEP 1: Put flashcards with different types of transport on your table.

Demonstrate with three pupils at first. Explain that they must take three flashcards, discuss and show to the class in order, for example: motorbike, train, plane. The class must say in chorus: 'Fast, faster, the fastest.' If they stand like - horse, donkey, bike, the class must say: 'Slow, slower, the slowest'.

STEP 2: Now invite the other three pupils to your table, take three flashcards, discuss, etc. In addition to "fast" and "slow", the class can say:


'Big, bigger, the biggest' or 'Small, smaller, the smallest.'


Activity 5 Play "Funny dictation".


Objective: to consolidate the simple, comparative and superlative degrees of adjectives with the types of transport STEP 1: Ask the pupils to open their Workbooks at Page 62 and look at Activity 5.


STEP 2: Say that you will dictate a text. Some words will be missed - instead of the words you can whistle or knock. The pupils must guess and write the words. In order to help the pupils you can put the pictures on the board, e.g. horse, train, plane.


Dictation: Horses are (whistle). Trains are (whistle). Planes are the (whistle).

Check their answers. Ask the pupils to read in chorus - Horses are fast. Trains are faster. Planes are the fastest.

Homework
Ask the pupils to open their Workbooks at Page 62 and look at Homework. Explain that they must do the crossword at home. Say that the pictures can help them write the words.
