Procedure (45-59 minutes)
Put students into pairs. Give them one minute to brainstorm as many words to do with technology as they can. At the end of the minute ask them to count up their words and elicit ideas from the pair with the fewest words, writing any new or interesting ones on the board for students to record, then ask other pairs to add any extra words.
Tell students to listen to the words to check their answers, then play the recording. Check answers around the class. Answers A speakers B printer C headphones D laptop E webcam F screen G keyboard H digital camera I mouse J: mobile phone
Students will work in pairs and try to put the words into the correct order to make a full sentence
Students will work in pairs and create their own app
Teacher will put random names on the wheel then spin it witch ever students name it stops on will get the opertunity to talk in front of his/her classmates
Students will work alone and see if they can remember how to write the verbs correctly and what happens to the E
To finish the lesson Tell students to write three true and three false sentences about their online life, e.g. I spend over five hours a day on social media. Give students 2–3 minutes to do this, then put them into pairs. Pairs should take turns to read their sentences to each other, and their partner guesses whether each sentence is true. Students gain a point for guessing correctly and also a point if their partner guesses incorrectly. At the end of the activity, elicit from the students any interesting facts about their partner, then find out who had the most points. To prepare for the grammar focus in the Listening lesson, ask students to look at the explore grammar box and complete Ex 5 on page 16 of the Student’s Book for homework, and to read the Grammar reference on the present simple and present continuous on page 130. Also share the PowerPoint Grammar Presentation on the present continuous and present simple with them. Tell them to write down any questions they have with any of the above, and say that you will go over these in the next lesson.
