Ready to present

Today it is time to give your country presentations.

You have 5 minutes for each presentation.

After that we will play a small game called

Yes/no game

People will ask you questions and you mustn't say "yes" or "no"

You have to try to survive for one minute!

Now we are going to watch a short video

How is your geography?

Show me your country on the map!

Finally, today we will finish off with a very easy exercise with some jumbled words.

8th October

Hi everybody!

To start off today I want you to warm-up by thinking about... 
which animal would you like to be if you weren't a person? You have to say why you would chose that animal!

Now we are going to play Kim's game.
You will see a tray with 15 things on it. You will have almost one minute at look at them.

Then I will put a cloth back over the tray.
Try to write down the names of all fifteen things on a piece of paper. I wonder who will get the most!

Country presentations (Worksheets)
Here are some flags of English speaking countries.
Do you recognise them?
Match them with the other items on the worksheet.


Don't forget your country presentations. Next Monday there is NO LESSON as I will be in Ireland with the ninth graders from Excel.

So I want you to work on your presentations. They have to be ready when we meet next time in week 43.

Now comes your lesson challenge. It is a clip about Ariana Grande before she became famous.

Here is the link

Please use your headphones and watch the clip.

Then do the Comprehension questions (multiple choice) and the vocabulary gap fill.

Then discuss the following question with a friend:

Who is your favourite singer? How did he or she start singing? 

We can't finish off a class without some spelling. So I will give you a worksheet.
