At the weekend Aims Learning goals: Using vocabulary related to free time and leisure activities Contents Year 8 Lesson 11 Vocabulary Keywords camera, camping, chess, computer, drawing, fiction, guitar, jogging, museum, music, painting, playing cards Language Analysis Like to do / like doing something We usually use like + ing to talk about things we like doing in general. If you want to focus on a particular situation it is more natural to say I like to do. Also like + to do suggests you actually do the activity. However, both forms are correct and nowadays more and more people use them interchangeably. It is more natural to form the question with the ing form: What do you like doing in your free time? Keywords: camera /ˈkæm(ə)rə/ camping /ˈkæmpɪŋ/ chess /tʃes/ Compare pronunciation: chess /tʃes/ vs cheese /tʃiːz/ computer /kəmˈpjuːtə(r)/ drawing /ˈdrɔːɪŋ/ Compare: drawing vs painting You usually draw with a pencil or pen and paint with colorful paints or crayons. fiction /ˈfɪkʃ(ə)n/ guitar /ɡɪˈtɑː(r)/ jogging /ˈdʒɒɡɪŋ/ listen ( to the music) /ˈlɪs(ə)n/ museum /mjuːˈziːəm/ music /ˈmjuːzɪk/ paint /peɪnt/ play (cards) /pleɪ/ © Young Digital Planet 2014 – Core Curriculum for English – Teacher’s Guide Procedure Lead-in Audio: museum playing cards camera chess computer drawing guitar listening to the music camping jogging The aim of the screen is to introduce vocabulary. Give the students these instructions for the Memory game. The aim of the game is to make pairs. On the screen you will see two sets of cards ‘face down’. Click on one card from each set to make a pair. If it is a pair, the cards will fly off the screen. If it is not a pair, the cards will turn over again. Try and remember where the pictures and words are. Choose two more cards to make a pair. Continue until you have matched all the pairs. Ask students to do the activity individually or put them in pairs. If students work in pairs, ask them to count the number of pairs they found. The player with the most matches wins. Extension Ask: Do you have any museums near your home? Do you ever visit them? Teachers can also ask students if they like any of the things shown in the pictures. © Young Digital Planet 2014 – Core Curriculum for English – Teacher’s Guide © Young Digital Planet 2014 – Core Curriculum for English – Teacher’s Guide Main input Audio: 1 William: What do you like doing in your free time?
