Teacher Guide
Review phrasal verbs and discuss the ones provided. Give examples to illustrate what they mean. Have the students complete the gaps in the text and then read it out loud. Check that it sounds natural to them.
Explain the phrasal verbs given in purple. Provide examples until the meaning becomes clear (this isn't easy!) then invite the students to try and say their own example. This worksheet requires plenty of conversation and spoken explanations and examples.
We recommend revisiting phrasal verbs in every lesson and making it a general rule that your students must include at least one in conversation practice or writing exercises within your lessons. Practice makes perfect and there's no other effective way to learn phrasal verbs. Encourage your students to listen out for them in English music and TV series too.
10mins - Conversation: What do you consider a 'healthy lifestyle' to be? Do you consider yourself to live a 'healthy lifestyle?' What might this include? Is it fun to be healthy? What do you consider to be 'unhealthy'?
05mins - Review the Mica eLearning online homework. What topics were discussed? Was the homework easy, medium or difficult? Answer any questions the students may have.
10mins - Review: Phrasal verbs and linking expressions. Play Phrasal Verbs charades: students draw a slip of paper with a phrasal verb (or use Mica flashcards) and act it out without speaking. The rest of the class must guess the phrasal verb. For example, a student might pretend to "pick up" an object, "turn down" music or "get on" a bus. This game helps students associate the verbs with physical actions, enhancing recall.
05mins- Review: Prefixes and affixes. Write a series of root words on the board and have students modify them to change the meaning.
10mins - Worksheet: 11 phrasal verbs - discuss further examples of each phrasal verb on this page.
