Short story
Song
Poem(s)
Piece of music with explanation
Sketch/short play

Something out of the box! (example using the film "Last King of Scotland" as a preparation for going to Uganda)

Speaking NP Information

Here is the relevant information.. 

Topic: Things to come 

Introduction: 

We live here and now. We try to deal with our lives the best way we can. We know what happened in the past, but we cannot be sure about what the future has in store. People have always speculated about and tried to predict things to come. What will the world be like in 40 or 50 years time? 

You will discuss this topic in pairs with the relevant materials and record your conversation in the Lingotek. 

Good Luck! 

Mike
