Welcome!

Happy to see you today!

Take a seat and wait till we get started!

Today:

Speaking practice

'survival game'

Goals: You can give a reason why you choose something

you can think creatively to solve problems

Reward system

You can earn up to +0.5 on the next grammar test if:

- your group is quiet when the timer runs out

- your group speaks English during the lesson

If you fail = -0.1

Good behaviour can make you earn your points back

- Make 6 groups of 4 or 5 people. 

- sit down and be quiet before the timer runs out

- fail = -0.1 for your group

-

In your group: 

Choose 4 of the items on the worksheet to bring with you to the deserted island.

Write down a good reason why you chose each item

After 5 minutes I'll randomly ask someone from each group to explain which items they chose and why

Oh no: A challenge

Each group gets a challenge

Discuss with your group how you'll survive the challenge

In 10 minutes you'll give a short presentation as a group

Everyone needs to say at least 2 sentences

Oh no: A challenge

In your presentation include:

- What your challenge is

- What you'll do

- How you'll use each item you brought to help you

The presentation is around 2 minutes long

Present!

As you listen, write down for yourself how likely they are to survive. Give a score between 1 and 3

• score 1: the plan is not going to work
• score 2: it might work but it's difficult
• score 3: it's all going to work according to plan

End of the adventure

Use the score the other group gave you to think about how your adventure would end. 

Take 5 minutes and come up with how the story will end as a group. 

I'll ask 1 person from your group to tell the end to the rest of the class when the time is up.

Keep it short

Finish up

• Were you happy with the items you decided to bring? Would you have chosen something else now?
• Which group had the most difficult challenge?
• Which group had the most creative solution to their challenge?

Bye!

Have a nice day!
