Procedure (45-55 minutes)
Get students in a circle. Tape an image of a famous person on the back of each student. Teacher will get a volunteer to demonstrate the activity: Ask Ss not to say the name; Ask volunteer to turn around and show picture; Ask students how they might help her figure out which famous person she is without saying the person's name (You work as a...); ICQs: Can she ask you questions about herself? -Yes. What happens when she guesses correctly, is she done with the game? -No, go help someone else find out who they are. What should you do if you don't know this famous person? -Find another person you do know to help. Tell Ss they will have about 5 minutes to finish the game, ask them to come together, start. After about 5 minutes end the activity, ask Ss to take seats. Ask how many guessed correctly. (Raise hands) Ask what did all of the people have in common? (try to elicit the word celebrities and/or stars, but "famous people" is ok since T will introduce those in vocab)
Show visual of radio show host and 3 people on phone. Ask Ss to discuss these questions in pairs: What does this man do for a living? -Works for a radio show. Who are the other people talking to on the phone? -The radio show host. What are they talking about? -Famous people. (This won't be obvious so I will probably have to tell it eventually.) Ask WC for answers. Tell Ss we're going to listen to a dialogue with these 4 people but first I need to check that they know a few of the words. Pre-teach vocab: Star/Celebrity Waitress Chauffeur Downtown Recently
