Welcome back to school!

 Welcome to your new English class! 

Today we will start the lesson by watching Kid President talking about how to make an AWESOME school year. What if we all made it our resolution to make this year awesome for somebody else? (resolution = löfte, typ nyårslöfte)

1. What can you do to make this school year awesome for somebody else? 

- Talk to a friend and try to come up with two suggestions. 

- Agree on one thing that you can do easily and for free. 

- Write your suggestion on the whiteboard. 

2. We will start with a short speaking activity! You will get a handout with a lot of different phrases. 

- Walk around the classroom and try to find someone who is able to answer yes to the questions on your handout. 

- You have to make questions out of the text on your card: 

Do you like spicy food? 

Are you born in January? 

- Before you start you have to make sure you understand the words on the card. We will talk about them in class. I will help you before you start. 

-When you find a friend who is able to answer your question - write his or her name in the square. 

- When you have five in a row - you shout: BINGO and let the rest of the class know the answers. 

Perhaps; Ludvig plays Fortnite every day, Sara has won a contest, Ellen is an only child, Malin hasn't had breakfast today and Hugo loves to swim.

3.  Go to SeeSaw and choose I'm a student. On the whiteboard you will see a code. You need the specific code to log in. During class I will show you how to record yourself. Remember that it is only I who will see your film and listen to you. 

4. We are VLOGGERS!  

Read the questions below in pairs and help each other understand them. While reading, take notes if you need to.

For all: 

* Introduce yourself in English. 

- What is your name? 

- Where do you live? 

- How old are you? 

- Do you have any brothers and/or sisters? 

- What do you like to do after school?

If you find it very hard to speak English you may skip the questions below. 

Choose at least 5 questions to talk about: 

• Where is your happy place?
• What is something you like about yourself?
• What is your favourite story (book or movie)?
• Why is it your favourite story?
• Do you consider yourself an introvert, an extrovert, or a mix? Explain.
• What is one thing you wish you had more time for in your life?
• What do you do to relax?
• When you are not at school, what do you spend most of your time doing?
• What is your most prized possession? Where did it come from and why do you love it?
• If you could only listen to one genre/type of music for the rest of your life, what would it be?
• Think about the best lesson you’ve ever had. What made that lesson so special? 
• Think about the coming school year. What are your expectations?

Homework for Wednesday is to record yourself while speaking English. Hand in the recording before the lesson starts on Wednesday.
