With an emphasis on goal-oriented language usage, Copy & Go 3 is intended to provide students with extensive speaking practice that is useful, interesting, and above all, fun. Copy & Go 3 consists of two parts. The first part contains 40 reproducible classroom activities—iour per unit (one per lesson)—each taking between 20 and 30 minutes of classroom time. These include role plays, information-gap activities, board games, card games, and charades—all designed to get students to interact in pairs and small groups with minimal teacher input. The task-oriented nature of the activities encourages students to recycle vocabulary from the units, to practice the grammatical structures, and to use the social language in an unself-conscious manner, combining the elements of production and practice seamlessly and painlessly. A lesson plan for each activity is provided. While itis possible for teachers to pick and choose these activities for use aS a post-unit review, it is recommended that teachers use the activities as an immediate reinforcement following each lesson. LESSON PLAN The lessen plan that accompanies each reproducible activity provides the following, information > Activity Type—the type of exercise; for example, board game rammatical structures, and > Target Language—the specific vocabulary, formation questions social language being covered; for example, > Materials—notes for preparation of the worksheets as well as other supplies needed; for example, dice, coins, markers, and pencils > Preparation—suggestions for a presentation of the target structures and background information that students will need in order to carry out the activity > Procedure—step-by-step instructions for carrying out the activity > Options/Aiternatives—alternative methods of performing the activity (for example, different group sizes, faster/slower options), as well as possible extensions of the activity > Answer Key—where applicable ‘The second part contains ten “Find Someone Who . ..” activities that correspond to the ten units in the Student’s Book. They are designed to get your students to stand up and mingle in order to talk with and get information from each other.
