POST-LESSON TASK 1: SPOT THE DIFFERENCES
AIM: To provide practice in listening for detail

MATERIALS: Text

1. Before the lesson, identify 3 or 4 factual changes you could make to a Listening or
Reading text that pupils will work on in the lesson (e.g. Mike’s favourite season is winter
instead of Mike’s favourite season is summer).
2. During the lesson, after pupils have worked on a Listening or Reading text and
understood it, tell them they are going to listen to the text again but this time there are
some differences.
3. Ask pupils to listen and put their hands up each time they hear something different from
the original text, and to be ready to correct the difference.
4. Read out your text with changes.
5. Pupils listen and correct the differences to make it the same as the original.

POST-LESSON TASK 2: MAKE CONNECTIONS

AIM: To review topic vocabulary and grammar

MATERIALS: Flashcards, pens and board

1. Before the lesson, choose or prepare between 3 and 6 flashcards that represent the
content of a text that pupils will work on in the lesson.
2. During the lesson and after pupils have worked on the text, place the flashcards on the
board and elicit ideas from pupils about items in the pictures.
3. Ask pupils how the pictures link to the text (e.g. if a flashcard shows some animals, the
link may be The story is about a farm).
To extend, if time allows:
4. Put pupils into pairs and give them a short time (1 or 2 minutes) to tell each other
everything they can remember from the text, using the flashcards to help them.
5. Ask pupils to tell you the connections they have made between the pictures and the text.
6. If you want pupils to practise Writing as well as Speaking, pupils could come up to the
board and write information under the corresponding flashcard or work with a partner to
write sentences about each picture.
