Task Based

Task-based activities 1. Slang: Cockney English The pupils get a list of words, and they have to underline the words they’ve heard during the video-extract out of the film: Austin Powers Goldmember. We explain them what Cockney English is. Now they have to link the slang-words to their English equivalents. 2. Passive Pupils are divided into groups of four. Every group-member gets a sheet of paper with three different newspaper (or magazine) articles on it. Each group member gets a different sheet with different articles (A-B-C-D). The pupils choose the article they like the most. They read it carefully, and then tell it to the other group-members, also saying why they chose that particular article. Afterwards some pupils could share their story with the class, if they like. We use the headlines of some chosen articles to explain the passive. 3. Genetive
