Unlock 2 -Unit 3 – The internet and technology – RW – Vocabulary 1
The lesson is built around the theme “The Ultimate Influencer Competition,” where students imagine they are competing to become famous social media stars. The lesson begins with a short video clip featuring a celebrity, followed by observation questions to practise notice. Students then discuss which celebrities they follow and their interests. Next, students work in pairs using the vocabulary through flashcards, word scrambles, and a short multiple-choice quiz, allowing them to discover meanings and check understanding in an interactive way.
In the production stage, students work in marketing teams to create and perform a one-minute advert selling a useless object, using words such as adverts, free, record, compete, and encourage. This is followed by a problem-solving activity where students give advice about issues related to secrets, security, and collecting. The lesson ends with a sentence-chain storytelling game that reviews all the vocabulary, ensuring students practise the words through speaking, creativity, and collaboration
