I will give the students twelve pictures (without words) and they in pairs try to name what they can see.

I will give the students ex 3. In pairs, they will match the two halves and they will match them to the pictures in pairs. When finished I will get WC FB answers.

Freer Speaking Practice (20-24 minutes) • To give students lots of speaking practice

The students think they are going to walk the Inca Trail. They can take two objects from the photos with them. They decide together which ones they are going to take. First, the students decide individually. Then they work with a friend as a pair to compromise about six items. After that, the pairs will join into a larger group of 6 students. Again they discuss and finally reach a compromise from the whole group. Lastly the whole class comes together and tell their views.
