So, once again, here we are, working with items of clothing and talking about fashion!
Though I cannot consider myself a shopaholic, I wouldn’t be completely honest with you if I didn’t tell you that, once a week, I leave husband and kids at home and I……. burn plastic!!!! Well, I reckon I deserve a treat or two from time to time, don’t you think so?
Now, this is the activity I’m going to do with my fourth-year students (Pre-intermediate). I hope you find it useful!
The main activity will be displaying a video of a catwalk where students will have to be the commentators, describing what the models on the catwalk are wearing. A video such as this one … or maybe the one below it… to add more variety.
They have previously worked with patterns and materials (striped, checked, plain, silk, leather…etc) but I used some pictures from my iPad, so this vocabulary has already been covered.
Though I hate to say it, most of my students will know “trousers and shoes” but they will probably need some help with some other less common items of clothing. That’s why I’ve prepared these slides about clothes, divided into Elementary and Intermediate.
as I’ve already mentioned in one of my previous posts, Unit 1 of my pre-intermediate course is about Music.
MacMillan and I must be of the same mind here ’cause your first unit is all about music. Let’s start the course in high spirits and do a song. All these singers are mentioned in the unit. Vote for the one you’d like to sing along with. Just once, please, we don’t want to be cheating here , do we?
