Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 1 Play “Ask and Answer”

Objectives: to warm up;

to enable pupils to ask and answer questions

Say that today you will act as a famous person. Explain to the pupils that they should ask you questions as in the press conference. The pupils ask the following questions:

What’s your name?

How old are you?

Where do you live?

How are you?

You should monitor the pupils and find out the most active pupils. If these pupils have learnt the material well, you must use their knowledge to help the weaker pupils.
Activity 2 Play “What’s your name?”

Objective: to enable the weaker pupils to show their oral speech abilities.

Explain to the pupils that they will now play volleyball which is well known to everybody. It is played by 2 teams. One team throw a ball to the other team and the other team catch the ball and send it back. In this game, the ball is in fact a question. So it is possible to use a real ball or other objects.

Ask the capable pupils to become judges. The other players start the game. A player of the first team asks a question such as “What’s your name?” and throws the ball to the other team. A player of the second team should catch the ball and answer “My name is Dilshod”. In this case, i.e. for the right question and the right answer both teams get 1 point each. After that, the next pair of pupils ask and answer a question. However, this time the second team ask a question and the first team answer it.

If there are very weak pupils in the class, you should attach capable pupils to the weak ones in order to help them respond.

You must make sure that each child could ask at least one question and give one answer.
