Teacher’s Notes

Back to school – Lesson 2

Type of activity: whole-class and pair work

Focus: personal information, objects in the

classroom, questions with to be, can, have got and

auxiliary do ; listening, speaking and reading skills

Level: elementary – pre-intermediate, grades 4–6

Time: 45 minutes

Materials: Student’s Worksheets 1, 2, 3 – Lesson 2

Preparation: Copy Student’s Worksheets 1 and 2

and cut them up into cards; one card per student. If

there are more than 16 students in the class, make

more copies of the worksheets. Make a copy of

Student’s Worksheet 3 per each pair.

5. Elicit the results. The ﬁ rst student says, for

example, Ten students have got blue eyes. Check

if the fact is correct by saying to the whole class,

for example, Stand up if you have got blue eyes.

If necessary, use L1 to explain what the students

need to do. Count the students standing and

check if the number is the same as that given by

the ﬁ rst student. Repeat the procedure with all of

the students’ results.

6. Explain that now the students are going to

conduct another search, but this time for objects

in their classroom. Divide students into pairs.

Give each pair a copy of Student’s Worksheet 3.

Point to the heading and explain what a scavenger

hunt is – a game to ﬁ nd objects in the categories

written on a list.

7. Go through the categories on the worksheet with

the whole class. Explain any vocabulary students

may not know. Then the students look around the

classroom and ﬁ nd the objects in each category.

However, they can only write down the objects

whose names they know in English. They should

not worry about spelling at this point. Set a time

limit of 10 minutes. Point out that the task is not

competitive.

8. When the time is up, read out the ﬁ rst category

and elicit the answers onto the board so that the

students can check their spelling. You can

provide the students with clues if they cannot

think of an object for a given category.

Procedure:

1. Explain that today students are going to conduct

a search to ﬁ nd out more about their classmates

and their classroom.

2. Copy the following onto the board, choosing the

answer that is true about you:

(have got/brown eyes?) Yes, I have./No, I haven’t.

(be/tired?) Yes, I am./No, I’m not.

(can/swim?) Yes, I can./No, I can’t.

(like/football?) Yes, I do./No, I don’t.

Explain that these are your true answers and the

students’ task is to build the questions these

refer to, using the prompts in the brackets. In

pairs, the students have 3 minutes for the task

and then they compare their questions with

another pair. Next, elicit the questions onto the

board as well as the alternative short answers.

*With an elementary class, write the questions

and the two possible answers on the board

simply as a model for the next stage of the activity.

3. Give out the cards from Student’s Worksheets 1

and 2. The students read the tasks on their cards.

Clarify any words they might not know. Explain

that to complete the task each student needs to

write the correct question, interview everyone in

class and count the positive answers. Refer the

students to the question patterns on the board

so that they can choose the correct one for their

task. Walk around the class and make sure

everyone’s questions are correct.

4. The students mingle and ask their question to all

of their classmates. They put a tick at the bottom

of their card for each positive answer. When they

have interviewed everyone, they count the ticks

and write the total number in the space provided.

Extension

In pairs, the students write another classroom

scavenger hunt list with 5 categories. They exchange

their list with another pair and try to complete the

task.

Alternatively, students can write a scavenger hunt

list for you. Each pair then reads out a category. If

you give a correct answer within 20 seconds, you

score a point. If not, the class gets one point. If you

win, students have to speak only English for the ﬁ rst

5 minutes of the next lesson. If the students win,

they can choose a game or a fun activity to do in the

next class.
