Dear Melissa,
You can lead in by slowly drawing a stick figure and eliciting info from the ss about the guy
eg - First draw a circle > ask what it is >put a smile in the circle > elicit smile, happy> draw a body and short hair > elicit �a man�.Get ss to give the guy a name and some possible adjectives about him. Don�t write anything on the board at this stage , only his name.Now, draw money bags�.elicit rich and happy.Ask -
Why is he rich? Elicit different possibilities: eg- CEO , inherited etc.. until u get to � He is famous / important >>Why?Rub out money bags and draw a guitar---Elicit � He is a pop singer .Ask-Do you know any other famous pop singers?Ss to think about lifestyle of popstars�what they eat, drink, drive, do etc.. Make flash cards for a Bottle - Ask-what do u think he drinks � Champange, Evian water etc- DRILL: He drinks champagne
Audience- fans/ girlfriends- drill :he has many girlfriends
A sports car , maybe a Ferrari, he�s got a red Ferrari
Holidays- exotic holidays � what about his house�..Castle - he lives in a castle
Etc�
Now: Ask ss what are some problems u can encounter when u r rich and famous?
Show flash cards of the drugsDrill : He takes a lot of drugs
Draw a sad face and ask NOW???adj to describe him.Draw a jail around him
Why is he there?SS In pairs 5minutes � Ss to discuss his probs in jail
Take flash cards again and ask � what do u think he drinks now? Drives now? etc
Stick them up on W B as u finish drilling.Get ss to now:
Give u one sentence that describes how his life has changed from present simple to the past.eg;u point to the flash card and elicit
Starting in the past to now with
He d---- lots of champagne and now he drinks water
Point to pics and try to elicit the past form of drink and fill in the blanks.Do them all and then : tell them he is now dead coz he took too many drugs like Elvis.
Lead in to was and were and write the Structure on board :I, he , she , it - was ...etc
He was famous and rich
There were many girlfriends fans
He was in jail He was on drugs
There were many unhappy fans when he died
His Ferrari was red
My ss love it every time it do it and it�s a good recycle of present simple and a lead into the pas , so there is flow.
Take care, I hope you understand it . You can do any story , but remember to takeit from the present into the past. Enjoy it
Regards
