Teacher Guide
10mins - Introduction: Conversation - Discuss rule-breaking with the student. Debate whether or not it is acceptable to break rules. In what circumstances might this be an option or even the right decision? Are there rules for breaking rules? Instruct the student to think of an example of rule-breaking that has had a 'positive' outcome. Either in her/his own life, historical or cultural.
05mins - Revision: Book work - Discuss the chapters of the book that were set for homework at the end of the previous lesson.
05mins - Comprehension: Answer the comprehension questions that accompany the newly read chapter(s) of the book. 05mins - Mini Task: The student is to look at a review of a recent film. They are to underline anything that they would change in the writing and circle anything that they like about the piece.
15 mins - Test: 09 reading practice - part 5
Answers: A, B, D, A, B, D
15mins - Creative Task: The student is to choose a feature length film they have seen recently and make some brief, bullet-point notes on the plot, characters and themes of the film. Once they have done this, the student will be instructed to write their own review of their chosen film.
Tips: Start with a compelling fact or opinion on the movie; give an early, clear and well-established opinion and approach the writing in a more depth way than just obvious plot analysis. Ensure that the student uses imaginative, descriptive and critical language. Encourage the student to re-read the film review example that they chose during the Mini Task and use it to help them with the composition and content of their own review.
05mins - Warm down: I will set the student chapters of the book to read for homework whilst contemplating any new themes and/or characters that may have appeared.
