Ss speak about three good luck things and three bad luck things that happened to them this year. Put them into pairs/groups and let them discuss their ideas. Monitor the class. Get FB.
Show the pictures from vocabulary 1. Elicit answers. Ask CCQ's "What has happened to the man?", "What is it called?", "Describe what you see in the picture". Elicit the vocabulary from the Ss. Give the HO and put Ss in pairs and instruct them to match the injuries with the pictures. Monitor pair work. For FB select Ss for answers and check with class. Drill the vocabulary.
