Begin by checking the homework. Then move on to the project.
Activity 1
Objectives: to read for specific information; to prepare for the next activity; to give PP information about industrial potential in Uzbekistan PP work in pairs. Ask them how they will find the information quickly. They should answer that they will read only the right-hand column first, and then when they see their area mentioned, they wjll read in detail across the columns to find out exactly what can be made there. If they don't give you this answer, draw their attention to this strategy for efficient reading. When PP are ready, check their answers. You could ask them if they agree with the information in the table, or whether there is something they would like to add to it.
Language Note
You and your PP may find the spellings of some of the names of places a little strange. We have given the English spellings. English does not have a spelling for many of the place names in Uzbekistan, but where it does, e.g. Uzbekistan, Karakalpakstan, Tashkent, Andijan, etc. we have used it because it is useful for PP to know that these words are spelled differently in the UK and the USA.
Activity 2
Objectives: to raise awareness of what is involved in a joint venture; to recycle material from the unit; to give an opportunity for PP
to be creative; to promote critical thinking
PP work in three groups. Explain that they are going to set up a joint venture. Half the group are going to be the foreign company and the other half the company in Uzbekistan. Go through each of the steps in the Classbook with PP to make sure that they understand what they have to do. Then let them begin. While they are working go round and monitor their work. At the beginning check that all PP understand what to do and how to get started. Then go round and help PP with any language they need, ideas, etc. Be careful about time. It would be good if there was time for all groups to give a brief report about their company - what it is called, what the foreign partner is called, what they produce/sell, and how they decided to split their profits.
