Creative Writing- Your Story

Discuss the pictures to brainstorm ideas about different narrative lines.
Explore the music as well. Let the students say what the sounds move inside them
Then, they write stories giving different meanings to each element.
Guide them as regards the number of words, structures, vocabulary
and linking words  you want them to use.

Comparing and Contrasting JOBS

Open the link to discuss the different jobs in the pictures.

Students can describe:

• main characteristics of the job
• qualifications needed
• abilities
• personalities

Then, they can compare and contrast two or more jobs and say which one they would or would not choose and why.

Finally, they write a connected paragraph ( or essay) about the jobs.

Animals

Use this presentation to teach animals. I suggest using the screen shade tool in slides 7, 8 and  9 so the students can guess the name while you uncover the animal.
The pictures are also useful to practise abilities

What animal can hop?
What can a platypus do?

or habitual actions

What do elephants eat?

Students can write a report about one of the animals and much more.

Daisy, who devoted her life into dancing, was hit by a taxi. Watch the scene, speculate and say what would have happened if one single detail had been different.
