3 Watch the slideshow. Make notes. How many of the words from your word map did you hear? 4 Discuss in pairs.
FOCUS
Would you like to go to any of the schools described in the slideshow or in Unit 1? Do you think everyone learns the same way? For you, what is the important purpose of education: development of citizenship, personal growth or occupational preparation? Or is there a more important one?
5 Think about your ideal school.
How would your ideal school meet your wants and needs? What kind of classroom and teaching would work best for you? Would there be any practical problems with that kind of school? How could they be prevented or solved? Make notes.
6 You are going to write a description of your ideal school.
Step 1 Make a mind map of your ideas in 5. Step 2 Plan your description and then draft it. Step 3 Share your draft with another student. Step 4 Complete your description considering your partner’s suggestions.
Writing in paragraphs
• Express and explore one idea per paragraph. • Use a topic sentence. The first sentence should introduce the main idea of the paragraph.
• Use each sentence to develop the idea from the previous sentence. When that idea is fully developed, that’s the end of the paragraph.
• Check that each sentence links to the previous sentence so your argument flows cohesively.
• Ensure you have correctly capitalized words, for example, proper nouns and the beginnings of sentences.
• Finally, be sure to proofread your writing to check for any spelling and grammar issues. You should also ensure you are correctly using punctuation, such as colons, semi-colons, en dashes and hyphens.
