3. Explanation of a new theme:

Activity 1 Listen and repeat.
STEP 1: Play the DVD. Ask the pupils to listen to the song and repeat it.
Look at Unit 11 Lesson 1 Activity 1 for the DVD script.
STEP 2: Ask the pupils to take and swap their Workbooks in pairs. Then ask them to open the Workbooks to Page 58 and check each other’s homework. Then you can check the answers involving the whole class.
Activity 2 Look and say.
In advance, prepare 8 illness flashcards from the previous lesson.
STEP 1: Stick the illness flashcards randomly on the board and point to one, e.g. “a sore throat”. Chorus the word 3 times. Then move on to the next flashcard, chorusing 3 times. Go through all the flashcards.
STEP 2: Next, point to a flashcard and elicit the vocabulary (Teacher: ‘What’s wrong?’ Pupils: ‘A sore throat’) and then turn the flashcard over and stick it back on the board, blank side showing. Point to the flashcard again and say ‘What’s wrong?’ and elicit the word for the hidden image (‘A sore throat’). Now move on to the next flashcard and do the same. Slowly you will turn all the flashcards over so you only have blank flashcards on the board.
STEP 3: Play “What’s missing?” Display all the flashcards on the board and point randomly at each one to revise, then mix them up taking away 1-2 and ask: ‘What’s missing?’
Activity 3 Look, listen and repeat.
STEP 1: Say: ‘Open your books to Page 55’. Point to Activity 3 and say: ‘Look at the pictures and the words. Guess what they are about’.
STEP 2: After some seconds, ask what they have understood. The pupils can answer in mother tongue. Accept all reasonable answers and praise the pupils.
STEP 3: Have the pupils repeat the new structures after you in chorus, in rows and 50/50 (half the class asking the question and the other half answering).
STEP 4: Take a flashcard off the board and give it to a pair. Say to the pair: ‘What’s wrong?’ Help the pair to reply, e.g.: ‘I have a headache.’ Take the next flashcard from the board and give it to another pair and ask the same question, eliciting the correct response. Do this for all of the flashcards.
STEP 5: Now, tell your class you are going to close your eyes for 5 seconds. In that time the pairs will all swap the flashcards. Close your eyes while the pairs swap the flashcards. Open your eyes and say to one pair: ‘What’s wrong?’ and they should reply according to the flashcard they have. Again, ask all the pairs the same question.
