T will give a handout and sts will rewrite the second sentence so that it means the same as the first. Then they will check their answers.
T wants the sts to find out three very successful people and discuss the questions written on the board. 1. How and why did these people become successful 2. Do you think they have a special talent, or have just been lucky? 3. What advice would you give to someone who wants to be as successful as these people.
T puts the students into fours and explain that they are all successful, in their own eyes. But will the others agree? T hand out the role cards and explain that each of them has reason to believe him/herself successful, but that they must justify it to the others. Not only this, they have to challenge the others’ idea of ‘successful’. T will stop the activity when people start running out of ideas, and promptly ask the whole class who they think the most successful people are, and why. •at the end of the activity T will give feedback through delayed correction if needed.
T ask students to talk about their main successes and rank them in terms of proudest, most difficult to achieve, most useful today and have them compare and discussin pairs.
