Semi-controlled practice: Inna Mill

Show students the next slide and ask them to guess what words are hiding behind the
meaning. (If online you can use Quizlet cards here:
https://quizlet.com/730513904/halloween-vocabulary-flash-cards/ )

Check the vocabulary together. (If in group: work in pairs and check the vocabulary
together)

Alternatively: You can use 'Find the objects' slide. It works well with memorising the words
and bringing the 'fun factor' into the classroom.

Pre-watching

Elicit what words students might know. First show and pronounce the phrase. Ask what
students think it might mean and then show the next slide with a picture and explanation.

Give students time to read the questions. Instruct them to answer if the sentences are true
or falls according to the video. Video can be found here:

Post-watching
Check their answers (If in group: in pairs). Then show the correct answers so that the
students can compare and check.

pairs. After pair discussion ask one from the pair to report received information (feedback
on the content)).
Encourage students to use Grammar (from the right side of the slide.)

Feedback on language
Collect a few common mistakes which were made during the class and point out on the
slide.

Happy Halloween!
