Description

I will elicit fewcwords that they will hear on the tape. After that, Ss will answer exercise1 in pairs. I will then show them pictures of the four people in visuals on WB and make them speculate what their interests might be and which cause they might support. I will devise a true and false activity and ask Ss to listen and work in pairs. This is will be followed by an activity where I will blue tack more words on flash cards and those who know the words come to WB to explain meanings to their colleagues. Then they will be given a HO to match words on WB with their meanings. lastly, in pairs they come up with a slogan to support a certain cause thy feel strongly about and will mingle with the class holding their slogans and discuss their choice and share their ideas with the rest of the class.

Main Aims

  • listening for specific information

Subsidiary Aims

  • lexis in the context of protests and demos

Procedure

Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • Familiarize Ss with the context of protests and demonstratios

Blue tack on WB two visuals of protests that took place on May day. One is a peaceful demonstration and the other involving violence. In such activity I want to familiarize Ss with words like: protest against, peaceful, demonstartion, supporters of....,slogans, leaflets and cause. I will elicit these words by giving the definition and if they come up with the word, I will write it the WB. If they couldn't i will try to write the first letter and they may get it this way.

(5-7 minutes)

Blu tack pictures of the four people they will hear on the recording after being enlarged. the pictures have captions to give them clues on such people. I will then ask Ss what they think they protest for or against and answer exercise 1 on page 71 where they match the slogan with its meaning.

While-Listening Activity (10-12 minutes) • listening for gist and specific information

Play the recording once and pause after each speaker finishes to check the main idea and see if their guessing is right. Then they listen for a second time to answer a T/F HO. Then they check answers in pairs, then with the WC.

Post - Listening activity (5-7 minutes)

Blue tack on WB more words they heard on the recording and ssk Ss if they know the word to come to the WB and explain it to the WC. Then the words that are left, they try to find their meaning in the handout which I will give later and they just write the word next to the correct meaning. Check with the whole class.

Speaking Activity (10-15 minutes)

Ask Ss to think of a global problem and write a slogan for such a problem in case they are to participate in a protest for such cause. In pairs they write the slogan and then move around the class with the slogan and pairs ask each other about the slogan and they diiscuus each others' slogans. If there is time we can discuss slogans altogether.
