Ask learners at E2 / N3 to try to at least two sentences in each box. More proficient learners could do free writing using the questions at the bottom as prompts. Activity 6 Choosing courses reading for detail (10 minutes) – Distribute resource 6 to pairs of learners. There are two texts so give each one to alternate pairs. Learners read the course information and then take turns to choose and ask a question from below the text and respond to their partner to consolidate speaking and listening practice. Encourage them to ask their own questions if possible. They then join a pair from another group to share what they have found out. Differentiation Pair lower and higher level learners. Rehearse the questions with the lower level learners. Ask the more proficient learners to read the text aloud to their partner if they – speak the same language let them clarify anything in that language but encourage them to ask and answer in English. Activity 7 Learning opportunities in prison (10 minutes) Hand out the course information about study/ training opportunities in your prison. The language is likely to be at too high a level for many of your learners so just ask those at lower-levels to identify course names and the day / time they are held. . Nominate higher level learners to say more about any courses that link to skills / subjects mentioned in Activity 3 or that interest them. Support with questions: When is the course? How long is the course? One year, one month, one week….Can anyone do it? Do you have to do an exam at the end of the course? Do you get a certificate? Write up any key words or information that comes up and encourage learners to copy it into their vocabulary books / learner dictionaries. Note any courses that are of interest to particular learners - you could use these for the content of future lessons to increase learner motivation. Cooler: Checking learning (10 minutes) Play a game to recycle and reinforce learning and assess what you may need to go over in future lessons. Last one standing
