SpeakOut lesson 6a: The Two Pablos

Ss watch a video clip from an arts programme on artist Yinka Shonibare. They begin by looking at a photo of Shonibare and reading information about his work and the programme. They then watch the clip and complete a set of viewing tasks. There is a focus on the present perfect with for, since and yet, before Ss listen to someone nominating a person for a creative genius award. Ss then nominate someone for a creative genius award themselves. Finally, Ss write a nomination for an award. 

Yinka Shonibare

British-Nigerian artist rose to renown with installations featuring headless lifesized figures in historic costumes tailored out of colorful batik-dyed fabrics. 

Shonibare zooms in on episodes from art employing subversive creative strategies to visualize them in tragicomic scenes of human activity.

1. Het is in het verleden gebeurd en niet belangrijk wanneer.
2. A en C zijn allebei fout.
3. Het is in het verleden begonnen en loopt door tot het heden.

To finish

Can you create a new word???

TO FINISH

Tell Ss that new words in English are really common and are appearing all the time. Many come from two words put together, e.g. breakfast + lunch = brunch, a meal you eat late morning; snack + accident = snaccident = when you lose control and find you have eaten all your snacks without stopping. Ask small groups to put two words together to create a new thing and explain to the class what it is, e.g. midnight + snack = mack, a snack you eat at midnight.
