Teacher Guide
Explain that the students need to use the word provided, unchanged, within a phrase that completes the sentence in a way that it has the same meaning as the first sentence. The phrase they write must have between 3 and 6 words.
10mins: Introduction:
Online homework: Discuss any problems or difficulties the student may be having.
Independent reading: Ask the student about what they have read in English during the last week. If you are reading a novel together, discuss the assigned reading and any vocabulary words/ writing assignments.
Speaking part 2:
Use speaking help cards and prompts to have students practice Speaking Part 2. They'll be given a long turn, where they need to compare and contrast 2/3 photos, making sure to answer the overarching question. (Long turn, 1 minute)
Then they'll be given a short turn, where they have to answer a question based on their partner's photographs. (Short turn, 30 seconds)
15mins: Worksheet: 27 reading - part 4 - complete and discuss the answers.
20mins: Worksheet: 27 reading - part 8 - complete and discuss the answers.
Tips: Decide what method words for you! The questions are put before the text as a way to encourage you to read the questions first. If you find you have a hard time remembering the questions while reading the text, try reading the text first. There is no correct strategy, just the strategy that words best for you!
Use context clues to find the meaning of words you don't understand. Afterwords, use dictionary to search these words and check your conclusion.
10mins: Homework: Write a proposal (220-260 words)
Review the structure of a proposal. Have students write their 'four titles' and a few bullet points below each explaining what they plan to do/say in each paragraph.
Intro - Introduce the current situation or problem
Body - Describe the situation/problem
Suggestions - Offer new ideas or solutions
Conclusion - Make final recommendations/sum up
Task:
Your college currently doesn't provide enough support for students planning to spend time studying in another country. You see this notice in the library:
The college is planning to introduce a special course for students planning to spend time studying in another country. The college principal invites students to send a proposal outlining any problems students may face when studying abroad and suggesting ways in which the course could address these problems. A decision can then be made about what to include in the course. Write your proposal.
05mins: Warm down: Goodbye, see you next time. Encourage students to do additional reading for vocabulary building outside of the lesson. News articles, short stories, and novels are all great examples.

1) Think about the voice - can you switch between active and passive voice?
2) Look at the words directly before and after the gap. If a past participle follows the gap, you know you'll need the auxiliary verb 'have/had' in your response.
3) Do not use fewer than three or more than six words.
4) Do not modify the key word in any way.
5) Contractions count as two words.
6) Keep in mind comparative forms, phrasal verbs and colloquial phrases.
