Class divided in 6 groups
Aims:

Monday:
Division into groups and assignments of each Unit per group.
Explanation as to what the revision activities implies: 3 sections over 3 days (Vocabulary, Grammar, Oral work – in each section, a theory/revision part has to be followed by a practice/exercise part (ie: powerpoint presentation lead by a student followed by an individual written exercise by the students OR presentation with vocab flash cards followed by a class quiz) – starting Friday the 17th each group will have a class to do their 6 activities (3 theory + 3 practice)
Group discussion on the approach to tackle each section (what tools will be use, what exactly will be covered – will it involve a class presentation, group work or individual work – what type of activity will it be? Written work, online presentation, role play, flash cards, posters, song…)
Objectives: By the end of the class each group should have given a plan to their teacher of what preparation they intend to do on the next 3 classes, what resources they will need (laptop, books …) as well as who will be doing what.
