17th - Mar 19

Agenda

These were some of the ideas from last week:

  • Play Alias
  • Domino word matching activity
  • Bingo (with words)
  • Little film clip and try to understand
  • Seppo's Scottish poem book
  • Celebrate the equinox???


How Daylight Saving Time Affects Health (intermediate) VOA - before you listen, scroll down to the vocabulary and guess the word stress.

If Seppo brought his poem book, he can read one for us (or put it on the overhead projector, and we can try to interpret it.

We can also split in groups and plan the best Spring Equinox celebration for our imaginary guests from abroad.

We can play the games I brought (Scattegories, Blurt, MindTrap)

Clips from movie (this is great for practicing spoken English by mimicing the rythmn, intonation, and word and sentence stress):

For an extra challenge while watching the movie clips, see if you can notice a few errors in the teacher's interpretation. Make notes on the errors.

Audio clip possibilities:
Meeting an old friend | LearnEnglish (B1) British council
A talk about motivation | LearnEnglish (B2) British council
An interview about two books | LearnEnglish (C1) British council
