SpeakOut lesson 6a: The Two Pablos

In this lesson, Ss ask for and give opinions. The lesson begins with a focus on extreme adjectives. Ss then listen to people discussing their opinions and identify if the speakers agree or disagree. From those discussions, Ss learn and practise using phrases related to asking for and giving opinions. There is a focus on intonation for expressing opinions, before Ss select three categories from a set and think of and discuss their top five things in each of those categories.

Back to the board.

Can you guess the name of a book, film or TV?

Write down on piece of paper. Other asks question.

TO START

Put Ss into pairs. One student should look at the board, the other not. Write the name of a book, film or TV show that your Ss are likely to know on the board, e.g. The Voice. The student facing the board has to describe it without saying the name. The other student guesses what it is. You might want to allow the name in the Ss’ first language to be given in a monolingual class, or tell Ss to explain the meaning of each word in the title if they don’t know the show. Repeat this a few times. Ss can swap roles with their partner halfway through.
