Time 15 minutesInteraction GroupworkPreparation Photocopy handoutAim Practice irregular past tense verbs and food vocabulary

Procedure

• Put Ss into groups of 3 or 4.• Before they start writing, check that the Ss can remember the correct past

tense forms of the irregular verbs.• Tell Ss that they are going to write a story. The grammar should be

accurate and the story interesting.• The aim is to include in the story as many words as they can from the

handout in the story. They can also use any other words they want.• The story must be set in the past, starting with the sentence on the page.• Give the Ss some time to write their stories together, then ask them to

check the grammar.

• First, each group reads their story.• Then ask the Ss to count how many words from the box they used.• Ask the Ss to vote on The most interesting story.

Tip: For stronger groups or classes, ask them to write a poem instead.

Energy 2 Unit 5Jobs and work

Teacher’s Notes

Time Activity A: 10–15 minutes Activity B: 20 minutesInteraction Pair work then group activityPreparation Photocopy one worksheet per studentAim To give practice of defining jobs words; to practise speaking about

future ambitions

ProcedureActivity A What’s the job?

• Divide students into pairs and tell them to choose if they are student A or B. Giveworksheet A to students A and worksheet B to students B. Tell them not to showtheir worksheet to their partner

• Tell students they are going to describe the jobs on their worksheets and theirpartner has to guess the missing words. Demonstrate this task to the whole classusing an open pair for the first one or two words. Allow about 10 minutes for thetask.

• Monitor and assist with any problems students have with describing the jobs.• The teacher can round off by asking which words were easy to guess and which

were more difficult.

Activity B What do you want to be?

• Tell students they are going to talk about the jobs they want to do when theyleave school. Tell students first to think which job they would most like to do. Youmight find it helpful to brainstorm some other job words, for example, from Energy1 (see below) or other jobs students know the name for:

manager musician designer director farmerfilm star athlete footballer singer guitarist

• Tell students to think of two or three reasons which explain why they want to dothe job they’ve chosen.

• Tell students they have 15 minutes to talk to as many students as possible andask what they want to be and why. You can either do this as a mingling activity,or, if the class is too big, place students in large groups around the room.

• Monitor and assist as necessary.• In the round-up, nominate students to talk about someone they spoke to, for

example, This student wants to be a rock star because he loves playing theguitar. The other students have to guess who is being described.

Energy 2 Unit 6Tomorrow will be hot and sunny

Teacher’s Notes

Time Activity A: 5 minutes Activity B: 35–40 minutesInteraction Pair work and group activityPreparation Collect materials as described below*Aim To give practice of weather vocabulary and will to predict the future

ProcedureActivity A Vocabulary revision• To revise weather vocabulary tell students they are going to draw words and the rest

of the class must guess the word.• Divide students into 2 groups, and ask one student from each group to come to the

board. Write one of the words below on a piece of paper, show it to the ‘drawers’, andtell them to start drawing the word on the board.

freezing windy raining thunder and lightning hot

cloudy clear storm flood foggy snowing

• With large classes, ask the other students to put their hands up to stop them shoutingout at the same time when guessing the word. Or divide students into pairs and getone student from each pair to come and look at the word, then return to their partnerand draw the word on a piece of paper.

Activity B Mini-project TV Weather forecastNote: You will probably find it best to do this activity AFTER doing Resource 11 for Unit 6The weather forecast, which is at the back of the Energy 2 Teacher’s book.

Materials*You will need the following materials for this activity:

• Wall map (this can be of your country or of the world)• Paper, colouring pens and scissors for students to make weather symbols• Something for students to stick symbols onto maps, for example, BlutakTM or

SellotapeTM

Procedure• Put students into small groups. Tell them they are going to do a weather forecast like

the ones they see on television, for example. Tell them they will need to prepare theirscript and practise before they do their forecast on ‘live TV’ in front of the class.

• If you have world maps, students can choose different countries and write theforecast for their country. If you have a map of your country, students can choosedifferent regions to write the forecast for.

• Refer students to the texts in the Teacher’s book Resource activity to give them amodel to follow. You can show this using the OHP or photocopies of the texts. Givestudents 10–15 minutes to write and check their texts. Monitor and assist withproblems. Give them 10 minutes to draw, colour and cut out the symbols they need.Each student can do a different symbol to save time here.

• Rehearsal stage: Tell students they have about 5 minutes to ‘learn their lines’ andpractise sticking the symbols on their maps.

• On air: Each group comes to the front and presents their forecast to the ‘TVaudience’ – the class. At the end the class can vote for their favourite forecast.

Energy 2 Unit 7Fortune tellers

Teacher’s Notes

Time 25–30 minutesInteraction Individual and pair workPreparation Photocopy worksheetsAim To give practice of writing if + will sentences to predict future outcomes of

an action

Procedure• Tell students they are going to ask a fortune teller to predict their future and give

them some advice. (You may want to show a picture or give an L1 translation toexplain what a fortune teller is.) Write the question below on the board as anexample:

Write the following stems on the boardand ask students to complete them:

If we ………..…. the teacher won’t giveus lots of homework tonight.

But if we ………..…. the teacher will giveus lots of homework!

• Elicit verbs to complete these sentences, for example, If we work hard today, theteacher won’t give us lots of homework tonight. Recap on the use of won’t forpredicting something is not possible in the future and the use of will to showsomething is possible in the future.

• Give out worksheets and tell students to write five questions they want to know theanswer to. Note: Make it clear the rest of the class will see their questions and tellstudents to write their name at the top of the worksheet.

• Elicit a few possible questions, for example, I forgot to tidy my room last night – willmy mum be angry? Or I didn’t phone my boy/girlfriend last night – will he/she forgiveme? Monitor and assist with any language problems.

• Collect worksheets and redistribute them amongst the class. Tell students to work inpairs and think of two predictions for each question – one using will (possible) andone using won’t (not possible). Refer back to the board to clarify this and do anotherexample if necessary, for example, Your girlfriend won’t be angry if you say sorry andbuy her some chocolates. She will be angry if you don’t apologise. Allow at least 10minutes for this stage. Monitor and help with grammar problems or with vocabularythe students don’t know but want to use.

• Collect worksheets and deliver* them back to the students who wrote the questions.*You can ask a few students to help you return the worksheets.

• Tell students to read their answers and decide if they think the fortune teller’s adviceis good or not. Do feedback with whole class. Ask: Who liked their fortune teller’sadvice? Why? Who didn’t? Why?

Will the teacher giveus lots of homework

Energy 2 Unit 8Star interview

Teacher’s Notes

Time 25–30 minutesInteraction Individual and pair workPreparation Photocopy worksheets for students A and BAim To give written practice of present perfect simple + never/ever; to

provide oral fluency practice

Procedure• Tell students they are going to take part in an interview for Teen magazine. Half

of the class will be journalists and half will play the part of someone famous.• Divide the class into journalists and stars – you can ask the students if they

prefer to be the interviewer or the star.• Put students into pairs, with one journalist and one star. The star chooses who

they are, for example, Johnny Depp, Gwen Stefani and tells the journalist whothey are. Note: the ‘star’ should know enough about their chosen star to play thepart.

• Tell each pair to work individually for about 15 minutes:

ÿ the journalist prepares a minimum of 10 questions (using present perfectsimple) that they want to ask the star

ÿ the star writes questions (again, using present perfect simple) they areprepared to answer and which they won’t answer.

ÿ Note: Tell students that it is often usual for stars or their PersonalAssistants, to see and approve questions before interviews. Forexample, journalists may want to ask:

(a) Who is the best director you have ever worked with?(b) Have you ever made any really terrible films?

but the star, or their PA, may say they don’t want to answer, for example,question (b). Monitor and help with question forms or unknownvocabulary. You may need to give students some help with the type ofquestions stars are often asked.

• Tell the journalists to give their list of questions to the star. The star canrefuse to answer some questions, but the journalist must be left with at least 8questions. Stars cross out unwanted questions.

• Each pair role plays the interview – the journalists take notes.

Possible follow-up activity• Change pairs so that stars are not with the journalist who interviewed them. Tell

journalists to quickly tell their new partner what they learnt in their interview.• If you have time, the pair can write up the interview for Teen magazine and the

class then reads the finished interviews. (approx 15–20 minutes extra.)

Energy 2 Unit 9Rules for parents and teenagers

Teacher’s Notes

Time 30 minutesInteraction Group and pair workPreparation Photocopy worksheets for students A and BAim To give spoken practice of have to – obligation

Procedure• Tell students they will play a game where they negotiate rules in a family.

Elicit some examples of rules for teenagers, for example, ask what time theyhave to be back in the evenings. Elicit some examples of obligations forparents, for example, ask who has to make the dinner, who has to pay, forexample, for birthday presents. Discuss with the class how rules arenegotiated – you can talk about how one person’s ‘rules’ must appear fair foranother person to agree to them.

• Divide the class into parents (students A) and teenagers (students B) andgroup the students in small groups (3 or 4) of ‘parents’ and ‘teenagers’.

• Give out worksheets. Tell groups they have 10 minutes to write 10 rules:parents write rules for teenage children; teenagers write rules for parents.Remind students to make the rules fair – if they’re too extreme, the other sidewon’t agree!

Some examples:For teenagers: You have to phone and tell us if you are going to be late.You don’t have to tidy your room every day – just at the weekend.For parents: You have to listen to me!You don’t have to take me to my friends by car – I can walk!

• Monitor and assist with ideas and vocabulary where needed.• Revise some expressions used to agree/disagree from Mickey and Storm’s

argument on page 94 of Students’ Book. Say the first word/part of each –students call out the rest and write the expressions in the speech bubbles ontheir worksheet. Check answers – you can drill the expressions so studentsknow how to use the expressions with correct intonation in the role-play.

Expressions:

I know (you’re right, but …) You (win). That’s (rubbish)! Come (off

it)!

Don’t (shout)! Listen (to me, please). Ab(solutely)

• Choose a student to demonstrate the role-play activity – you can play the partof the teenager or the parent.

• Tell students they have 10 minutes to have their discussion – at the end youwill see which ‘family’ managed to agree most.

• Monitor and note any problems. Assist only if necessary to keep the role-playgoing.

Page 21: Resources Energy 2

Film and TV

Teacher’s Notes

Time 30 minutesInteraction Whole class activity – can be played in smaller groups with two

teamsPreparation Photocopy Blockbusters grid and display on an OHTAim To give practice of present and past passive and vocabulary

related to the context of film and TV

Procedure

• Tell students they are going to play a game called ‘Blockbusters’.(Note: Students will be familiar with this game if they previously usedEnergy 1. If not, tell students the winner is the first student/team to getfrom one side of the grid to the other, either going across or vertically.)

• To demonstrate how to play the game, do an example: one team choosesa square at the sides or top or bottom of the grid. The teacher or otherstudents choose one question from the three given for that block andread/s the question out. Allow time for the students to think – you maywant to set a time limit and keep to this throughout the whole game.

• If the team answers correctly, they win the square (this means the otherteam cannot use it to cross the grid) and they get another go. Note:students can only choose a square that joins the square they have won. Ifthe team gives the wrong answer, it is the other team’s turn to play thegame and choose a square.

• The quiz finishes when one team crosses the board.• If you have time, you can play again, using any questions that were not

answered in the first game.

Possible extension activity

The game can be extended by asking students to work in groups and writesome questions based on their knowledge of films and TV. This could be setas a homework task if there isn’t enough time in class, or you haven’t got theresources in your classroom, for example, Internet, books about film for thestudents to use when writing questions.The game is then played using the students’ questions.
