Sand and shellsProcedure
- Present the vocabulary items on page 46 on a transparency.
- Make copies of the pdf worksheet. Cut them apart.
- Ask students to interview a partner about their last seaside holiday. What did they do ? Did they have a good time?
- Have students team up with a new partner and tell him/her about their previous partner's holiday. Allow 10 minutes.
- Show the class the transparency for one minute. Remove it. Get the students to write down all the words they remember.
- Have a feedback session. Check meanings.
- Split the class into pairs. Ask the pairs to arrange their chairs back to back. Hand out the worksheets. One student in each pair gets picture A, the other picture B.
- Explain that both pictures are almost identical. The students must find 10 differences. (Answer: umbrella, bikini, flippers, flag on sandcastle, bottle of suntan lotion, seagull, shell, snorkel, sunglasses, bucket.)
