Teacher Guide
To help build your students' vocabularies, practice writing or saying a definition of a noun and get them to guess what it is. When they are more confident you can make it a game where they have to think of an object or a place and try to describe it so others can guess what it is. Review some simple adjectives and verbs used for everyday life.
Teach students the concept of 'you' in relation to general reference (e.g you can stand and wash your body under this.)
Tell students that in this exam part there are two distractors and one example. Explain that they must write the word exactly as its written on the picture - spelling is important.
10mins: Introduction: Speaking part 1 - Show (using speaking help cards) or draw a series of four pictures where the action of the people is changing from frame to frame. Have the students describe what they are seeing in the images, focusing on the correct use of present continuous, colours, nouns and prepositions. Ask questions about what different objects are and where they are in relation to the other things in the image.
05mins - Review online homework. What topics were discussed? Was the homework easy, medium or difficult? Answer any questions the students may have.
