Teacher Guide
The students need to think of the word that fits in each gap. Review the form of the present perfect beforehand if they are not confident with it already. Have them read the completed text out loud and ask them if any parts don't sound natural to them - then explain those parts and give further examples.
10mins - Conversation: Imagine you have just won a special award. You must give a speech discussing your achievement and describing what you had to do to earn this accomplishment. Give the students a few minutes to prepare their speeches, then have them present to the class.
05mins - Homework review: discuss any questions or problems.
10mins - Review: Discuss Relative pronouns, which are used to connect a phrase or a clause to a noun. The clause modifies the noun. Ask students to think of examples for each:
what, which - things (The book, which has sold one million copies, has been on the best sellers list for three weeks)
whom, who and whose* - people (The woman who cuts my hair has a daughter.)
that - people and things (He is the farmer that everyone in our neighbourhood buys their beef from.)
when - time (Can you remember a time when you didn't complete your homework?)
where - location (That's the town where we went for the music festival.)
*note: 'whose' reflects possession
10mins - Review: Modal verbs - Discuss the difference between 'have to' or 'must'.
10mins - Worksheet: 07 modal verbs - finish for homework
10mins - Test: 07 reading practice - part 2
05mins - Warm down: Goodbye, see you next time!
00mins - Homework: Complete the next section of the online homework.
1) Read through the text to get a sense of what it's about.
2) Read THROUGH the gap. This means continue reading until you've arrived to a full stop at the end of a sentence. This will help you find the context.
3) Think about what type of word is needed in the blank space. What part of speech is missing?
4) Double check to see if the word should be single, plural, past, present, etc.
5) Spelling counts!
6) Do not leave any blank spaces. If you don't know the right answer, guess.
- about
- up
- it
- or
- be
- why
- one
- has
