1. Divide your class into small groups to recall the vocabulary items from Vocabulary Activity – Part One (there are six words/phrases).

2. Elicit the vocabulary items from your class, and write them on the whiteboard. 3. Using page 25, read the definition for one of the vocabulary items aloud to the class, who listen

and write down the correct vocabulary item in their groups. 4. Repeat the previous step for each of the definitions from page 25. 5. Check the answers together as a class.

Step 3 option: Make this activity competitive by having the groups either call out the correct answer, or exchange their answer sheet, and mark another group’s answers, giving 1 point for each correct answer.

level. In pairs, students walk around and read the definitions. 2. Each pair takes one of the Vocabulary Activity – Cards from page 42, and walks around the

classroom to find the correct definition for their vocabulary item (checking with the teacher for confirmation) and sticks their card next to the definition.

3. With their partners, students walk around and read the vocabulary items with their matching definitions.

4. Give students a copy of the Vocabulary Activity – Student’s Worksheet from page 44 so they can match together the vocabulary items and definitions.

5. Check answers together as a class, assisting with pronunciation and clarifying any further questions about the definitions or usage of the vocabulary items.

Step 2:

- More than 12 students? Make copies of pages 42 and 43 on different coloured paper for each group of 12 students.

- Fewer than 12 students? Use half of the vocabulary item and definition cards, and repeat Steps 2-4 with the other half of the cards.

Step 4 option:

Add some fun by testing your students’ memory of the vocabulary items before handing out the Vocabulary Activity – Student’s Worksheet. Read out the vocabulary definitions and have students (in groups) write down the vocabulary item. Write the first letter of each word on the whiteboard as a clue, if necessary.
