How to engage the two classes in a meaningful 'authentic' speaking task about the unit's work?
Gaby and Fishy are setting up a restaurant in L6 next Tuesday during the double. We will pair students randomly in a blind date scenario, so that students may 'present' themselves and have conversations about simple matters such as what they like to do in their spare time, hobbies, films they have seen etc. during the dining experience. Meanwhile, there will be 2 waiters for each table of 2; one waiter will talk about the menu and take the order, the other will bring the food and present it. After one period the teams of diners and waiters will swap experiences. Gaby and Fishy will roam with clipboards, assessing students. Marks will be deducted for talk in English.
This is a mammoth task and requires students to take responsibility for their learning in order to maximise their enjoyment of the task.
