Procedure (30-40 minutes)
I will present "superteacher" who introduces abilities and features of superheros by realia, miming and drawing. I will elicit/refresh previous knowledge and provide the necessary key vocabulary for the following exercises.
"Select your superhero." (There are more superheros available than students present; they will have to discuss the distribution of superheros; there are some reserve superheros to prevent students from crying if necessary) "Chose a power." (Each superhero can only have one superpower such as freezing, firing, lasing; students cut out the power and glue it on their picture) "Colour your power." (To ensure that they also have colours to describe and visually separate fire/ice)
1. Model the language/ demonstrate the task (teacher: A3 printout example) 2. Demonstrate the task (student open example: A3 printout example) 3. Students write descrptions of their superheros
