to show the students a picture of some famous and successful people and ask them about the positive characteristics that one should have to be a famous and successful person. they will give me some characteristics and then i will show them the new vocab that i have on the board and make a review of them then they will practice
we will check the meaning of the new vocab together, then students will do some exercises to practice the new vocab after that they will think of someone they know (either personally or a famous person) who has these positive characteristics, then they will tell their partner about that person
we will check the pronunciation of ambitious, courageous, imaginative, tolerant,and determined. paying attention to word stress.
students will do some practice on the new vocab and they will use them through a small discussion. students will see some occupations and find out what are the characteristics needed for every occupation. then they will match the roles in exercise 1b with some qualities. then they will discuss two questions in small group.
students will work in a small group discussing how many of the people in the photos they recognize and why they think people admire them. then they will listen to an audio in which two people are talking about someone they particularly admire. students will write down some details of each person's life they will listen again and note down why they admire each person. then they will do the speaking task using the useful language.
students will do the speaking exercise, they will give a short talk, like ones on the recording about a person they admire. then decide quickly who they will talk about then make some notes about what they are going to say then practice their talks in pairs then talk to the class and be ready for any question finally if i don't have enough time i will give them the writing exercise as a homework.
