Extra worksheets for N5 and N6

(from Robin)

Dear N5 N6 teachers

There are now worksheets for extra practice of the vocabulary in Lesson 1 Activity 1 - Follow the Footprints (Part 2)
Part 2 is a listening activity with sentences describing the new vocabulary presented in Activity 1. It can be found in the Multimedia folder under Kids English CDs
P:\01 Course CDs\02 Kids English CDs\05 N5 - Footprints 3
P:\01 Course CDs\02 Kids English CDs\06 N6 - Footprints 4

However, the listening activity does not exist on the ipacks so Maria has kindly re-labelled the relevant sound files in the above folders so they can be easily found, eg for N5 this can be found under
Footprints 3 CD 2

17 Unit 5 Lesson 1 Activity 1 Part 2


The following is an example of the sentences  that students will hear for N5  Unit 5 Lesson1 Activity 1 Part 2,  which practices  the vocabulary of sports: volleyball, fencing, golf etc


1 You can do this in a gym!
2 You use a ball to play these three games!
3 You do this sport in the snow
4 You do these three sports in water
5 You need a horse to do this sport
6 You need a sword to do this sport
7 You wear special clothes and a belt to these two sports
8 You need a boat to do these two sports!
  
There are now worksheets being put in the Level Unit  Folder  aimed at exploiting part 2 listenings and  the language they contain, for example, in N5 Unit 5 you can find one titled:  PB38 Lesson 1 Activity 1 Part 2 extra practice

Here are some possible practice ideas, including some with worksheets which can be done over the course of a unit. 
1 Listen and name the items (from the Course CD). I´d get the students to write the number of each sentence they hear next to the word on the Pupil's Book page, so number 1 "You can do this in the gym" could be gymnastics or fencing or volleyball.
2 Teacher reads out the sentences (from worksheet) and students say the words. I'd get students to produce sentences here, eg Number 1 "I think it's gymnastics" or "Maybe it's fencing"
3 Run and touch the pictures/words  - teacher reads out the sentences   (or students can take turns to read sentences out  if they've done activity 5 below).
4 Run and write - as 3 but students write the word
5 Test your partner(s)  - students are given a copy of the sentences and take turns to read them out to each other.  I'd only give them one copy per pair or three to save paper and also use them with my other group too.
6 Listen and name the items - an opportunity to record the vocabulary in their notebooks.
7 Copy and complete in your notebook  is also an opportunity to record the sentences and revises the spelling of the Unit vocabulary.








Hope this is useful.

2015 - The year in pictures

(From Jo)

Dear all

I've put together some pictures of news stories from 2015 which you can use with your in-company and/or PARE classes if you like. You can use them however you like (e.g. cut them up and get students to see if they know which stories the photos represent and then choose some of them to discuss in more detail).

You can find the document here: 2015 - The year in pictures

or on the system (S:\Teachers\03 Levels\03 In-company Levels File\02 Resources\01 Speaking and Listening\2015-2016\S&L UPP INT ADV ARTICLES).

Enjoy!
