Unit 5, Part 2 Overview In part 2 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , students will talk about how they usually spend their free time and then talk more in detail about what they did during their most recent school break. The idea here is to connect a conversation about free time to an actual situation, thus bringing it to life. • What do you usually do in your free time? • Did you watch a lot of TV during the break? The Sounding Natural Note on page 73 revisits the all-important Reacting strategy, this time from the point of view of “ echo questions ,” or shadowing . An exercise to practice intonation is also included within this activity. The importance of using reaction expressions is also emphasized in the note on page 75, where students learn about the role they play when talking about oneself. In Speaking Time , students will write and memorize an 4-turn dialog without using any questions, then perform it for classmates. Generic 90-minute Lesson Plan Things to bring: • Equipment for playing the textbook audio tracks • (optional) Handouts (vocab quiz, worksheets, etc) 1. Warm-up options • Review part 1 by having students do several rounds of timed conversations. • Alternatively, use the Guided Role-play cards at the back of the book to review part 1 content. • Take a short quiz on part 1 vocabulary.
