the right answers. Ask them how they did, if they found it difficult and
why.

stand up and go and talk to someone in the class they haven’t talked to
for a while, and ask the questions. Then get them to share what their
partners said to the class.

first. From this, you can understand the language used and the structure
of the writing.
Ask them to look at the model email and answer the following
questions: Is it formal? Does it have everything it needs?
Now get them to check the checklist with the model email. Does it tick
all the boxes? Any missing?
3. Now explain to the students that they will write their own email.
They will need to follow the same structure as the model, and use
similar language. Get them to write individually, and make sure they
plan in bullet points what they will write first (following a,b and c) . Give
them 5 minutes, and then get them to swap with a partner for peer
correction. Monitor this closely to check they are correcting correctly.
Tell the students that while they check their partners work, they must
use the checklist below to see if it has all the information.
4a. & b. Now tell the students that they will practise their writing
further, but this time without a model. However the structure has
been given and they must use it in that order. Ask them what kind of
language they would use, formal or informal? (more informal as you
are talking to a friend)
Get them to do this activity in groups. Then, ask the students to read
the checklist again to see if they have all the information. Then ask the
emails to be passed around the class, so everyone gets a chance to read IMPORTANT TIP: Elicit from students any differences in style when

you reasons for their choice. students to keep things simple and use as many full stops as possible.

very long sentences. In English, it looks much more professional if the
writing is made of lots of short sentences.

CULTURE NOTES:
The world’s oldest mummies were found in Chile.
These mummies were buried more than 7,000 years ago in the arid
desert of northern Chile.
Found in the arid desert valleys around Arica in northern Chile, the
Chinchorro mummies are the oldest mummies discovered in the world
to date.
The Chinchorro were a prehistoric people who lived in scattered
communities and used fishing to help them survive on the desert coast
of Chile and Peru.
The nearly 300 mummies, which have been recovered in recent years
from the dry coastal area near the Perú border, are thought to date
from between 5000 BC to 1500 BC.

carpeted with a broad cover of green stripes. Famous for its futuristic
observatories, seekers of cosmic energies, frequent UFO sightings, poet
Gabriela Mistral and quaint villages, this is a truly enchanting – and
enchanted – area, and one of the must-visit places in Norte Chico”

Why Does the Past Seem Happy? OPTIONAL FOLLOW-UP: Ask students relevant follow-up questions.
Generally speaking, research on memory shows that retrieving
information from memory involves both enhancing the information you
want to retrieve as well as inhibiting competing memories. Storm and
Jobe suggest that the more effective people are at inhibiting memories,
the more they will be biased toward positive memories of their past
and away from negative memories.

for regular verbs, write up three categories on the board: -ed= / t /
(watched), -ed= / d / (played), -ed= / Id / (wanted). Point out that
these represent different sounds and ask the class to read them out.
Ask students to decide which category the rest of the verbs go in. Elicit
answers individually and categorise the verbs as a class.

They can still have a look back to be sure. But the examples must be
authentic.
When students are not able to come up with authentic answers,
encourage them to look back in the unit and find samples of sentences
or words they need.
If students are able to identify and recognise the sentences and
vocabulary, then they have partially achieved the objective of the unit.
2. Answers:
When they finish you can ask them to exchange their charts with their
partners or call out their names to give answers.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE SELF ASSESSMENT:
Explain your students that checking their own learning is important and
beneficial. Self-assessment helps students:
• become responsible for own learning
• be able to recognise next steps in learning
• feel secure about not always being right
• raise self-esteem and become more positive
• be actively involved in the learning process (partner not recipient)
• become more motivated
