Lessons 4-5: Core topic 1: Communication and media
Following last Thursday's brainstorming session and discussion we are going to look at the
vocabulary lists created for this unit and we are going to use these lists to prepare a short in-class group writing task.
Vocabulary
Find the envelope with your name on it
Take out the slip of paper and try to remember as many of the 8/9 words and phrases as possible
Write them down in two columns: I'm sure I know what this means and I am not sure I know what this means
You can go back to your list as many times as you want to.
Use a dictionary to find out the meaning of the words you don't know
Write/find a sample sentence with each world/phrase
Concordance:
On your own
Look at a page from the British National Corpus fro the word "communication" read the sentences and try to decide what kind of text the sentence comes from:
- Written/spoken
- Formal/informal
- Non-fiction/fiction
Choose 1 of the examples and try to write the sentence before and after it (focus on the tone , jargon, etc)
Get into pairs and share and discuss your solutions, suggest better ones if you can
Writing task:
- Choose one of the examples of your classmates and write a short (150-word) response to it
- Post your answers on the Edmodo classroom.
