Real Time DVD worksheetsTeacher’s notesUsing the DVDs

The Real Time DVD can either be used in the classroom or for individual study. Each DVD has six episodes. The main focus of each episode is to provide a context for the language in the Real Time sections in the Students’ Book. It would therefore be suitable to watch one episode after having completed one Real Time section. Each episode is divided into three scenes. There are interactive multiple choice questions for each scene which you can use while watching. We suggest letting students see the question, watching the scene, then having a class vote on the answer. In the following pages are six DVD worksheets. These focus on the language, vocabulary, functions and general content of the episode, allowing you to make the most of the DVD. We suggest that you use the interactive questions the first time you watch the DVD episode. Then, give out the worksheets and students can then watch the DVD again. There are optional ‘extra questions’ suggested in the teacher’s notes for most episodes. These questions focus on the visual content, the characters’ feelings and relate the content to your students’ own experience.

The story so far …In the Elementary level DVD, we met the Benton family – Jon, Sally and their children Anna and Mark. We followed their journey to Cornwall and saw the beginning of their camping holiday. We were also introduced to Dave, manager of the campsite and surfing instructor (who Anna has developed a crush on). The Pre-Intermediate level continues the story of the Benton family and their camping holiday.

Episode 1 In this episode, the family invite Dave for a drink. While having a drink they talk about where they come from and what they do. The episode finishes with Dave arranging a surfing lesson for Anna and Mark’s mother, Sally.
