9 Helpful Buddy

The aims of the activity are first to match the ideas with the unplanned situations given, and then to
produce more ideas in different situations. This activity encourages students’ creativity by promoting
students to express various ideas on the unplanned situations.

Materials and Preparation
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the handout on pages 48 and 49 for each group.

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of four or five depending on the size of the class.
2 Hand out the copies and tell students that the activity has two steps. First, they are going to match
the ideas with the unplanned situations on the front side of the sheet. After completing the matching
task, ask them to turn over the sheet. Second, they are going to write as many ideas as possible for
each unplanned situation. For this part of the activity, encourage them to be as creative as possible
as to what they would say in the unplanned situations given.
3 Remind that they have 25 minutes to complete all the tasks and that for each correct matching and
meaningful sentence, they are going to be awarded one point.
4 When the time is over, ask the group to tell the answers of the matching activity and their ideas for
each situation on the handout.
5 Work out the scores to announce the winner.

10 Come Join Us!

The activity aims to have students express their opinions by making oral presentations on a planned
topic.

Materials and Preparation
Presentation slides on pages 50-55
The evaluation scale on page 56

Procedure
1 Put students into groups of five depending on the size of the class.
2 First, tell students that they are expected to work in groups to create a presentation on their school
as members of the School Communication Team. The purpose of the presentation is to convince
students to join your school.
3 Then, choose four/five students for the jury and hand out the evaluation scales. The jury members
will be responsible for evaluating the presentations to determine the winner.
4 Next, give students 10 minutes to prepare for the presentation using the presentation slides (the
sheets to be handed out in the form of slide frames with topics on).
5 When the time is over, allow the spokespersons of the groups to do their presentations on behalf of
their groups. (Groups are free to do the presentations with more than one student.)
6 Finally, get the scores from the jury to determine the winner(s).
7 The group with the highest score is the winner.
