Unveil a desk with 15 various every day items appropriate to their vocabulary (pen, glove, dictionary, candybar*, etc) for 30 seconds and cover it up with a sheet so they can't see it anymore. Ss should not talk to anyone, but give them 1 minute to write down everything they remember they saw on the desk. ICQ: "Can you work with your neighbor? --No." Ss with the longest list wins the *candybar- tell them to save it for later (so as not to disrupt the class). Ask the students how they remembered the objects- by position, by association, by color? Ask how many people thought in English as they did the activity. (TB Ex Warm up P.6 Inside Out Pre-Intermediate).

Students turn to page 6 in their workbook. Give them 30 seconds to study the pictures with names and instruct them to check their own answers on page 124. Find out who found it easiest to remember all the names and again, ask them to try to explain what techniques they used.

SB Page 6 Reading 1. Go through the headings with the class before they read the text and try to match them to the different paragraphs. When you get to "making associations"- CCQ: "My name is Amber, what's another word that starts with an A? (Be nice!) --Apple, Awesome, etc. "Amber is awesome, Amber likes apples. These are examples of making word associations." Instruct the students to work with the person next to them to match the appropriate heading to the paragraphs for the next 5 minutes. ICQ: "Who are you working with?" --my neighbor. How long do you have? --5 minutes". When students have their answers ask a few pairs to share their answers with the class to check all the answers & write on WB. Ask them if they think that advice would work for them, or if they've used that technique before and how it worked for them. Encourage students to try some of these in the next few days and report back later on how well they work.

Instruct students to look at SB P. 7- Lexis describing people. ICQ- physically scan the room and walk around to quickly make sure they are all on the right page, holding the SB workbook up and point to the Lexis related to describing people section. Give students a few minutes to decide which nouns, noun phrases and adjectives complete sentence a and which sentence b. Encourage them to say the sentences aloud to get a feel for what sounds right. Write a) He/She looks _______ on left side of WB and b) He/She looks like ___________ on the right side of WB. Get answers from class and write on the board. Ask what type of word do you use after "looks (Look(s) + Adjective)" and what type of word do you use after "looks like (Look(s) like + Noun" under the appropriate sides. CCQ: Refer back to the picture of Charles on SB page 6. "Can someone describe Charles using a noun phrase on page 7?" --Charles looks like a banker, Charles looks rich, Charles looks middle-aged. Ask students to work individually to write 1 sentence describing each person from the pictures on page 6 of SB. Remind them NOT to include the names of the people, but to leave a space or a line. ICQ: "Are you writing the name of the person you are describing in your sentence? --No. Leave the name part blank." Give them 3 minutes. Go around and encourage them to use a mixture of both looks and looks like in their sentences. Students exchange sentences with the person next to them and check answers. Repeat the activity with students writing sentences about 3 members of the class. "Be nice! If you don't have anything nice to say, write about someone else." Remind them again, don't write the classmates name, just a description. ICQ: How many classmates are we writing about? --3; Are we writing our classmates name with our description of them? --No. Leave the name blank." When they are done (2min), have them pass their paper 2 people to their right and have that person try to fill in the names based on the description. Check answers in small groups. CCQ: How does (pick a student with glasses on) look with his/her glasses on? --(name) looks intelligent/smart with glasses on. CCQ2: How old do you think I am? --You look very young... CCQ3: How does (pick a student) look? --he/she looks/looks like he/she is a bit tired. "OK you all look like you are ready to go home. Don't forget to practice. Good job & Good night!"
