Unit 1: lesson 1c Let's meet

Ss learn functional language for making suggestions. They also learn adjectives (bijvoeglijk naamwoord) to describe feelings, as well as time phrases. The context is a reading where they read some messages between two people arranging to meet.

Welcome to class. How are you feeling today?

Use intonation when giving examples.

For example:

I'm happy. Raise your voice and up tempo.

I'm sad. Lower your voice and slow down.

Time phrases

EXTRA SUPPORT: TEACHER We use both this weekend and next weekend to show the following weekend. We often use next on Saturday, Sunday, Monday (when we see the weekend to be far off ) and this when we are closer to the weekend, e.g. from Wednesday onwards. But this varies by individual, so it’s impossible to identify a fixed rule.

correct group alone, then check in pairs. Check answers with the class.

ANSWERS:

at half past nine, the weekend

Remember to:

To finish

Please get ready to finish this lesson together.

School = stress?

Sometimes we feel hunted

by our teachers and parents,

by our friends and even by ourselves.

It feels like we must rush 

to keep up with the rest.

Give us a chance to develop ourselves at our own pace, trusting we will get there, in our own good time.

What is your TOP TIP to deal with school / stress?

Speaking

Student A: make a suggestion.

Student B: Decide if you are interested or not and reply.

Student A: Is student B interested or not interested?

A: Let’s meet for a coffee after class.

B: Sure.

A: You’re interested!

The lesson ends with a speaking activity where Ss practise making suggestions.

Please speak English & listen to each other.
