Part B: Preparing a gift for the school

 

  1. Go through the passage ‘Cathy’s Present for the School’ (LT 2.7) and highlight the use of connectives to express sequence when giving instructions.

 

  2. Tell pupils that the Principal has asked them to make a present for the 40th School Anniversary. Invite them to prepare a gift for the school and write a set of instructions on how to make the gift.

 

  3. Introduce to pupils some useful websitesWebsites for making crafts:

that are related to making crafts and encourage them to visit these websites to get more ideas for making gifts.

 

4. To give more practice on writing instructions, have pupils complete the activity sheets (LT 2.8 Part A) before they design their own gifts (LT 2.8 Part B).

 

  5. Get pupils to work in groups of four to teach their groupmates how to make the gift. Before the presentation, share the success criteria with pupils and guide them how to use the peer assessment form (LT 2.9) for giving feedback to the presenter. Have the group members vote for the best gift.

 

  6. Help pupils revise the learnt vocabulary by giving a dicto-comp (LT 2.10). Read aloud the introduction and the things needed for making a photo frame and have pupils dictate these words. Then, ask pupils to write the set of instructions with the help of the picture prompts provided.
