PRODUCT STAGES

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

Stage 1

Work as a whole group and brain storm leisure activities such as listening to music, reading a book, playing soccer, visiting museum etc. then organize teams and ask Ss to explain what those activities are about. Let them use different sources of information such as picture dictionaries, English- Spanish Dictionaries or bilingual dictionaries.

Once Ss have finish the previous activity, ask them to share their information with other teams, then encourage individual work by asking Ss to choose the leisure activity they feel more attracted to.

Ask Ss to investigate what an interview is and different kinds of formats and what it involves. Assign this for homework.

Stages 2 and 3

Based on the previous activity, encourage Ss to elicit what an interview is and its elements. Organize teams and ask them to write an interview taking into account leisure activities; If needed Provide Ss with some prompts so that it is easier for them to make questions for the interview such as What ? Where? When? Who with? Why ? Do you like? . Then organize a find someone who activity this activity will help Ss identify partners with the same interests. While doing this activity, monitor students work in order to assist Ss in case they need any help. Promote peer and self-correction.

As an alternative activity organize The mystery guest game which is about to find who the person in the shadow is. For this activity you can ask Ss to find information about a famous person and what their leisure activities are, you can ask Ss to find the information in the net or even invented so that they have different personalities to talk about. Ss can also be asked to perform a character and be interviewed.

Expose Ss to situations that may not like them such as doing housework, doing the washing up, making their beds, etc. so that they have to use negative sentences to express their dislikes. Help them understand the difference between affirmative and negative sentences; provide students with a model in case they need it.

Perform scrambled sentences activities to provide more practice and clarify doubts. Let Ss do this in writing first, but soon move onto oral practice as this is a typical feature of oral production of the language.

Provide as much practice as possible (written, oral, spoken and read) with these kinds of questions since they will make it possible to accomplish the interview that is to be performed as a product.

Stages 4 and 5

In order to reinforce dialogue structure, elicit form Ss ways to be polite during a conversation. How do you start/ end a conversation?

Have your Ss decide if they want to perform a dialogue about their likes and dislikes or if they would rather pretend they are someone else and have a sort of interview to a famous person. Remind them they have to check that questions are appropriate regarding the topic, the purpose and intended audience, considering also the appropriate register depending on who they will talk to.

Have your Ss use the different kinds of questions previously seen: open and specific

Have your Ss exchange their notebook for peer correction. Monitor and correct as needed. Stress the fact that in English an open question mark is not used. Create awareness of the fact that Wh questions follow a falling intonation pattern.

Ask your Ss to arrange the interview by deciding who the interviewer and the interviewee are. Have your own Ss carry out the interview in your group first. If there are guests from other groups, ask other Ss to make it more interesting and to ask them to perform the role of a famous person.

As an alternative activity, organize an interactive activity with other grades so that they can interchange information about their peers.

Stages 6 and 7

Have Ss practice their interviews by switching partners. At first, allow Ss to read but encourage them to use the written questions only as a guide. Monitor pronunciation and accuracy. Take notes so you can provide feedback before they actually present their final interview.

Before having your Ss perform their interviews, have them reflect on how much non-verbal communication they use in their daily lives and under which circumstances. Insist on students standing up when they participate so everybody can see them. Encourage a respectful environment so Ss feel more comfortable to speak and use non- verbal language to perform their interviews.

Ask Ss to give their opinions about the interviews. Which one they liked/did not like and why. Encourage positive feedback and provide your own.

Set times and dates for the interviews to be presented and ask Ss to prepare the interview in advanced.
