The One word rules Think of three words each. The words must mean something
in your life. Reveal the words and ask each other Yes/No questions to guess what
they mean in the other person's life. Ex: The teacher has the word "water". Is she
afraid of swimming? Does she drink more than 3 litres per day? Does she enjoy
taking a shower? Guess!

Main part:
Read the title of the module «Timekeeping Devices» and ask Ss to suggest what
they think the module will be about (the module is about «Timekeeping Devices»,
the calendar and slideshow presentations). Vocabulary Ex.1 p.49 Aim: to introduce
vocabulary related to timekeeping history • Direct Ss’ attention to the texts and ask
them to read the words in the lists for each one. • Then have Ss read the texts and
use the new vocabulary to fill the gaps. • Play the recording. Ss listen and check
their answers. Answer Key 1 disc 2 stick 3 shadow 4 divide 5 practice 6 cast 7
existence 8 flow 9 passing 10 filled 11 lit 12 burned

Practical part:
11.2.3- understand the detail of an argument in unsupported extended talk on a
wide range of general and curricular topics, including talk on a growing range of
unfamiliar topics; 11.3.3- explain and justify own and others’ point of view on a
range of general and curricular topics, including some unfamiliar topics; 11.3.7-
use appropriate subject-specific vocabulary and syntax to talk about a range of
familiar and some unfamiliar general and curricular topics. Aim: to listen for
specific information • Read out the questions and the play the recording. • Ss listen
and answer the questions. • Ask various Ss to share their answers with the class.
Suggested Answer Key 1 The boy thinks that sundials are too simplistic and there
is little to say about them. 2 The speakers agree that the fact ancient people thought
to measure time by the movement of the sun was inspirational/fascinating.
Did you know? p.49 Aim: to expand the topic Read out the “Did you know?” box
and elicit whether Ss were aware of this information or not.

Conclusion:

OVER TO YOU! P.49 11.3.7- use appropriate subject-specific vocabulary and

syntax to talk about a range of familiar and some unfamiliar general and curricular
topics; 11. 1.6 - organise and present information clearly to others; 11.3.5 - interact
with peers to make hypotheses and evaluate alternative proposals on a range of
familiar and some unfamiliar general and curricular topics; Aim: to test retention
of information from a text Give Ss time to complete the task and then ask Ss to
share their answers with the class. Suggested Answer Key Sundials rely on the sun
to tell the time. They use a stick and look at the shadow cast by the stick in order to
tell the time. Obelisks are similar to sundials except the stick is a monument. Even
tall buildings like the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., USA can be
used as an obelisk. Water clocks were stone objects that used the movement of
water to tell the time. Oil-lamp clocks worked by burning oil over time. You could
tell how much time had passed by how much oil had disappeared from the lamp.
