The teacher asks students to find an adjective that starts with the first letter of their names.

T asks "What qualities do you think make an athlete more successful?" Students have 1 minute to think and 2 minutes to discuss with their friends.

In pairs, students write down the name of a famous sportsperson that they think others will know. They'll also write 5 clue sentences for that person and ask their pair "Can you guess who I chose?" Teacher can do one as an example.

Put students into small groups. Pre-teach genetic makeup (our natural abilities or what we inherit from our parents). Students discuss which ones are the important ones. Monitor and contribute to the discussions. Note any errors. As a class, different groups compare their ideas from Exercise b. Find out if the class can agree on the most important characteristics. Teacher can tell his/her feedback here.

Teacher gives some basic facts about the athletes from the text and asks students to make predictions. "What do you think is said in the text about ......?"

Teacher prints out the text and cuts it in half vertically, giving one half to student A and the other half to student B. Students discuss and complete comprehension questions (Activity 1.e).

Students will do 1.e activity from their course book. They should discuss the questions with their groups and teacher will ask for representatives to report ideas back to the class.

Inspirational Quote Creation: Students with their groups will create a motivational quote inspired by the athletes and explain why they chose that person.

Teacher gives feedback based on observations during the production activity.
