We are finishing the introduction unit (unit 0), where we have revised many contents from last school year. We are the best at English!!!!Today we will focus on the final project: we have to interview our teaching assistant, asking him as many questions as possible. Are you ready?1.- First things first: let´s go over some question words. Write them down in your notebook, please.
2.- Next, please stick the photocopies with the questions in your notebook.
3.- Let´s watch this video to learn how to interview our guest:
Take good note of these tips:
- Make your guest feel comfortable: look at him, smile, have fun and relax.
- Be curious.
- Look at your guest in the eye, don´t read your notes.
- Listen to him and react: make comments.
- Don´t ask YES or NO questions. Ask questions with long answers instead.
- Do your research and learn the questions, don´t read them.
4.- Now let´s interview our teacher student. Ready, steady, go!!!
5.- Finally, prepare a short monologue about him for a SPEAKING TEST this Friday. You have 3 levels of difficulties:
- LEVEL 1 : 3 paragraphs
- LEVEL 2: 5 paragraphs
- LEVEL 3: 7 paragraphs
6.- Once you finish, we will speak about theatre. Yes! We are going to the theatre this Wednesday thanks to our parents´ association. The play is titled "Abracadabra" and it is performed by Face2Face Theatre Company. This is the story:
Harriet Potter is 14 years old, and she is a witch. She has a brother, Harry Potter, who is very famous.
Harriet goes to school to learn magic, but she has got a problem: she is not good at magic! She doesn´t like studying.
Her first lesson is flying. Harriet can’t fly. She falls on the floor. The teacher is angry with Harriet. Harriet’s friends, Holly Hocus and Polly Pocus, try to help Harriet learn to fly. But she is not good at flying!
The next lesson is potions:
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Hair of cat and tail of dog,
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble!
It is a laughter potion. Ha-ha-ha! But Harriet can’t make potions. Her potion goes wrong and she turns her friend into a pig. Oops!
The next lesson is animal magic. Harriet likes animal magic. She has a black and white cat called Louis! Today she must make him dance.
But Harriet is worried. At three o’clock there is an exam…
Harriet’s friends help her to learn magic. They teach her a magic word… Abracadabra!
Now she can fly! Now she can make potions! And now she can do animal magic!
Harriet passes her exam with flying colours. Her teacher, Mrs Dragon, is very happy.
