Unlock 2 -Unit 3 – The internet and technology – LS – Vocabulary 2
To teach stupid, explain that it describes silly actions, not people. Show this by making funny mistakes, like pretending to write with the wrong object. To teach memory, play a quick remembering game with objects or a short shopping-list game. For affects, show cause and effect using dominoes or pictures of plants. To teach lazy, act out not wanting to move and compare it with energetic actions. For file, show a real folder and a computer folder and explain that both store information.
For practice, students act out the words in charades or do simple actions when they hear each word. End by making a short class story using all the words. Finally, students practise again using the interactive Vocabulary section with flashcards and games.
