Unit lessons
Each unit in
Guess What!
Level 6 follows the same
structure. Read the Tour of the unit to understand this
better.
You will notice that the pages for the large picture at the
beginning of each unit are not listed in the timetable.
This is because the picture is not intended as the focus
of any lessons. You should still ask students to look at
this page as an introduction to the unit. You can do this
in a variety of ways. Before beginning the unit in class,
you can give students the topic and ask them to look at
the picture for homework. If you prefer, you can spend
a few minutes at the beginning of class to introduce the
unit with the picture and ask students how they think it
is related to the unit. You do not need to do all the steps
listed in the Teacher’s Book for this preview to the unit.
Content and Language Integrated Learning (Clil)
CLIL means Content and Language Integrated Learning.
The content subjects represent the popular subjects for
the students’ age / language level in many countries. The
vocabulary and content for these pages may be slightly
more challenging than the main unit lessons, but the
activities teach this vocabulary and the grammar is tightly
controlled so that students can successfully complete
these pages.
Additionally, the CLIL pages contain projects.
Collaborative learning through projects helps students to
develop their oral language skills as well as higher order
thinking skills, including analyzing situations, synthesizing
information, and thinking creatively. Furthermore,
projects help students to develop important 21

skills like mediation and negotiation.
The CLIL projects can be started in class and completed
outside of class on students’ own time. After the second
quarter, the timetable includes two days for the CLIL
pages and one day for students to present their projects.
This time is allocated in the hopes that projects can
become a regular part of students’ learning. Similarly,
there are CLIL pages in the Workbook which you may
assign for homework to consolidate vocabulary and
content.
Reviews
As in the previous levels,
Guess What!
Level 6 includes
two review pages after every second unit. These pages
are called ‘Review’ in the timetable under the skills
column. These pages integrate the vocabulary, grammar,
and skills. The timetable also includes review days
that do not have corresponding pages in the Student’s
Book. These review days are the day before an exam.
Each grade 6 classroom is different, so these days allow
flexibility for you to focus on difficult activities, important
vocabulary, or grammar that your class needs to review.
During these lessons, you can use activities from the
Workbook or from the Extra Activities section beginning
on page TB111 of this Teacher’s Book. Of course, you can
also use other material that you think is suitable.
Assessments
There are 12 exams in grade 6. There are three exams in
each quarter of the academic year. The first two exams
of each quarter focus on material only from the new unit.
The third exam of each quarter is cumulative. This means
it covers material from all the units of that quarter.
In this addendum, there are sample exams that have
been compiled in accordance with the Uzbekistan
timetable. These exams have been compiled using the
Test Generator for the
Guess What!
series. All teachers
using
Guess What!
in Uzbekistan have access to this Test
Generator. You can make your own tests using the Test
Generator, so it is important that you speak with your
colleagues about how your school can access it.
The timetable includes a time for feedback after most
exams. You may not have time to provide feedback the
next day. That is fine! You can continue with the new
lessons and give time for feedback when you are ready.
You should take time to review the exams with students
and give additional practice or homework if most of the
class had difficulty with something.
Homework
The timetable shows the homework from the Workbook
that you can assign for each lesson. However, if you are
not able to complete the entire Student’s Book page in
class, it is important that listening and speaking activities
be done in class. Students can complete activities from
the grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing sections
of their Student’s Book at home.
The Workbook also contains plenty of additional
practice in vocabulary, grammar, reading, and writing.
The Workbook does not include listening or speaking
activities.
