Introduction to the unit
•
Ask
What’s Unit 5 about?
Encourage students to look
at the photograph and figure out the meaning of
Now and then
. Elicit or explain that the unit is about
the differences between the past and the present. Ask
What differences can you see between the buildings?
(Possible answers:
Some of the buildings are old, some
are modern. The older buildings are made of brick. The
more modern buildings have more glass and metal
.)
Ask students which kind of building they think is more
beautiful.
•
Then ask further questions to personalize the topic, e.g.,
What kinds of buildings can we see in our hometown /
our capital city?
Are most of the buildings old or new?
Can you think of a famous new/old building? Have you
ever visited a very modern building? What’s it used for?
Did you like it?
•
If time allows, ask
Does anyone in your family have any
old things at home?
How old are they? Who do they
belong to? What are they made of? Are they beautiful?
Students talk about any old objects that they can think
of, e.g., pictures, pieces of furniture, items of jewelry.
Ask students how these things are different from their
modern equivalents, e.g.,
Are the materials the same?
Are they bigger/smaller? Can you buy these things
today?
