2019-03-13T09:24:34+02:00

1. Read text 3 & do ex. 3a

2. Discuss 3b & 3g in English

3. Do ex. 3d & 3e

4. Get your set of ALIAS-cards from the front of the class. Take one card from the deck and try to get your friend/someone in your group to say what is written on the card (by eplaining in English, giving synonyms, opposites, example sensentec etc.). Give the card to the person who guessed the phrase right. Use a timer! You have 3 minutes to explain as many words as you can! If there are phrases nobody guesses, don't tell the answer - just skip it!

Once you've gone through all the cards, take the ones you didn't know on the first round. Say the phrase in Finnish and let your friend/the others say it in English. No timer necessary anymore. The person with the most cards, wins the game.

5. Get your pronunciation-handout from the front of the class. See if you figure out the word in English and in Finnish on the basis of the phonetic alphabets. You can choose whether you do this in writing or just orally.

6. Get your ethical challenges-cards from the front of the class and discuss in English. What would be the right thing to do? What would you do in real life? What could result from the choices you make?
