Following
patterns-

Suggested task:
To reach the goal 2 students will find out how classmates spend time, hang around and advise others
to do varied activities in their spare time.
Ss will work in pairs and decide on what matter they will suggest others. The general categories
groups can suggest are about: academic activities, sports, working out, cultural activities, video
games, taking free courses and going out. Each pair will come up with a schedule to practice
activities related to the category they have chosen. Thus, if a group chose video games, they will say
what games should be played, what time and why others should play them.
During the task ss mingle and take notes of the suggestions they receive; they can use this
conversation model for the interaction:
A: What do you do on Sunday mornings?
B: I sleep until 11 a.m.
A:Why dont you play video games like FIFA World cup, PES, etc, instead.
B:What time should I play video games?
A: At ten oclock.

As activities are advised, Ss decide which ones they can and want to do in their daily life. Activities
can be feasible and unfeasible so that during the outcome they report whether they realized they
could spend time better by changing habits in their real schedule or otherwise, what activities they
want to do instead of the activities they have to do. Ex. I have some spare time on Sunday
mornings, I think I could play FIFA video games instead of sleeping late or I want to take a
swimming course twice a week instead of taking math classes in the mornings. Depending on
the group level, you should pre-teach the word instead.

Suggested task
Ss will take out the photo of the two celebrities. If they don`t bring them, you can bring one photo of a
famous person for every student. Ss will prepare an interview for their partners about the celebrities`
jobs, the activities they do and say if they would like to do those jobs in the future. They`ll work in
pairs. During the task ss can follow the model of the conversation on page 57, modifying some parts
as follows.
A: Tell me about your celebritys job
B: Well, Shes a singer, her names Shakira

A:What does she do at work?


B: She always sings and dances in concerts, she sometimes travels to Colombia
A:Would you like to do that work? Why?
B: Yes, I would. Because I really like to dance.

As an outcome they say the conclusion they draw on their conversation. They can say something like:
Diana can have Shakiras job because she really likes to dance and travel .

Mini-task for reading activity:
Follow the suggestion given by goal 4. But ask students to choose the job they want to do and write its
characteristics under the following categories: working hours, salary, holidays and duties. Encourage

students to be as descriptive as possible. Use the Wh questions in the communication part for the
students interaction (i.e. Whats your job? What hours do you work? What do you do at work? How
much do you earn?). Then, work with three different partners by making the onion ring (inner and
outer circles) distribution. They should take notes of interesting aspects.At the end, students decide
who has the most interesting job.
Video lesson
Follow the instructions suggested in the teachers manual. Remember to follow the strategies to work
on a video lesson suggested by Joan Saslow: Pre-view (watch the clip with the sound off); View (focus
on key details) and Review (comparing answers to check understanding).
Mini-task for video activity:
Do the communication activity on page 61. Ss complete their own information individually. Then, in
groups of three Ss ask the questions in the chart and follow up questions when the answers are yes,
i.e.
A: Do you get up at the same time every day?
B: Yes, I do.
A: What time do you get up?
B: I get up at 6 o clock.

The outcome can be to identify similarities and differences in their personal routines.

Ss take the role of tourist guides working in pairs. Firstly, they invent and draw the map of a city they
like, identify interesting places to go and paste the pictures they brought on the map in a big poster.
Then, they prepare the directions to go to several places. A student in the pair becomes a tourist and
goes round; the other would be a tourists guide. The tourist rotates visiting other cities, trying to get
to several places in the city by following the instructions classmates tourist guide tells him or her.
They can follow this model:
A: Hi, welcome to New York, there are many places to visit in this cosmopolitan city, are you
interested?
B: Sure, where can I go?
A:You can go to Central park
B:How can I get there if I`m at the subway station?

describe (based on the assignment they had). Thus, they create the instructions to follow a tour route,
including the five places and using the map previously made (at home).Ask Ss to use the imperatives
and the prepositions of place they studied before. Then, Ss present their route tours to other pairs
(Teachers can create some questions for Ss to interact when presenting their tour maps:
A: This is our tour route in La Candelaria.
B: Is there a museum there?
A: Yes, there is. Theres one museum called Casa del florero.

B:Is there a place to listen to music?


A: Yes, there is. Theres one auditorium called La media torta.
Once Ss have worked with two or three pairs more, the original partners can make a decision on the
coolest neighborhood to take a tour route in Bogota and why, they can report as follows:
The coolest neighborhood in Bogota is La Candelaria because you can go to Chorro de Quevedo, La
media Torta and you can go to different concerts

Suggested task:
During the pre-task, Ss work in trios, design a different transportation system for Bogota. In their plan,
they include, routes, new ground transportation implemented, benefits in terms of ticket cost, journey
time, comfort security and any other aspect that might be necessary.
During the task, one of the ss presents the new system. The others go round observing the projects
asking questions about the benefits, and asking questions about directions similar to the ones in the
conversation on page 69, but modified to be used in this context. For instance, A: O.k, How do I get to
the airport if Im in the art gallery at downtown?
B:You have to take Transmilenio.
A:Oh But I have to get there in 5 minutes, Is there another way?
B: In that case you have to take a taxi.
A: How much is it to take a taxi?
B:About 30.000 pesos, but there is another option you can take the new subway, it`s cheap, fast, comfortable
because(Students use their proposal of the new ground means of transport and explain their benefits.)

A:Yeah, that sounds much better.

Finally, the ss who listened to the options join their partner (who was presenting) and they tell and
compare the options others classmates proposed with their own one. Then, as whole class, they
report the best ground new transportation means for Bogota.

Suggested task:
Based on the homework assigned the previous class (have students research about leisure activities
related to technology use, music, eating out, dancing, culture that can be done in Bogota).
Ss will do the role- play conversation in the communication activity suggested on page 79 with some
variations. During the pre-task, Ss work in trios and are given a list of situations related to cell phone
etiquette the teacher should check and select in advance taken from the suggested websites. Each
group chooses a situation and prepares a conversation about some of the leisure time activities they
researched. The conversation may be as follows:
At the cinema talking on the cellphone
SsA: (talking loudly) Hi Diana, How are you? What are you doing?

SsB: I`m good, I`m chatting with Lorena and checking your facebook.
SsA: (talking loudly) Really, did you see what I post?
SsC: role-plays a reaction.
SsA: I`m watching a terrible movie.
During the task, half of the class performs the short conversations, while the other half observe them
and take notes about what the situation is and whether it is annoying, impolite or not. The students
who observe rotate. Then, the students who were listening perform.
As a wrap up, students make a ranking about the five most annoying situations in the trios the worked
on during the pre-task. As they do the ranking they give reasons for their choices. Finally, the teacher
elicits some rankings and the class can reflect on the importance of Cell phone etiquette which can
also be used as a written task topic.

by using statements with CAN and the way s/he should help others in our city.

i.e. Super/Bog can run very fast, and can do martial arts so she can save you from the muggers.
Make sure students use their dictionaries to find out the corresponding vocabulary and do not spend
so much time in drawing. Once they have finished, pairs will work withother partners to compare their
superheroes. They need to interact as follows (both students in the group have to participate)
A. What is your superhero s name?
B. His/her name is ________.
A. What can she do?
B. She can_________.
A. How can shesave people in Bogota?

what classmates can do now and whether those abilities can help them practice a sport and/or
gymnastics. Or if on the contrary, classmates don`t have abilities to practice any of those activities.
They can use questions like these ones:
To become a professional swimmer:
Can you stay underwater for more than four minutes?
Can you go on a strict diet based on just vegetables?
During the task they ask the questions doing a conversation like this:
Ss A: Hi!, what do you think about professional swimmers?
SsB:I think they work a lot. But swimming is a good exercise.
SsA: Do you mind answering a test to find out if you have the profile to become a professional
swimmer.
Ss B:O.k
Ss A: Can you stay underwater for more than four minutes?
Ss B: yes, I can.
As a wrap up students report who has abilities to become an athlete or a gymnast.

Suggested task: First, as a whole class, teacher elicits from students current trends in teenagers
preferences in Bogota (Ss can talk about games, clothes, hair styles, places, etc). T makes a list of
those common trends on the board. Right after, Ss should create a survey of at least six questions,
individually, having this model as a prompt:
What do you think of 'guitar hero' game?
Once they have come up with the six questions, Ss go around the class interviewing four different
partners and keep record of the answers. While running the survey, an interaction model could be
taken into account to express degrees of likes and dislikes.
A. What do you think of 'emo's hair style?
B. I like it.
A. What do you think of skateboarding?
B. Oh I love it... etc.
T. should make emphasis on the use of the object pronoun it' or 'them' in the answer, if Ss don't say
complete sentences.
Once, each student has asked his/her questions to four different partners, they should go back to their
seats, analyze the information they gathered and prepare a report.
Fulanito and Pepito love guitar hero but Camila hates it.
Ss compare their results in pairs and then some answers are shared as a whole class.
