UNIT 1: MAKING MUSIC (4th ESO)

We are sure all students will like the topic of this unit: who doesn't like music? It brings so many positive things...

The WDYT? question is an interesting one: How can music bring people together? There are many answers and you will find out some while working with this unit. Let's see an example: in the following video you will see lots of famous artists who got together to sing the song "We Are the World"  written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie in 1985 to raise funds to help with the famine that was devastating Ethiopia at the time. 

To talk about music, we need to refresh some vocabulary. Here you have a matching activity to practise it:

Time to learn a new verbal tense: the PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS. Here you have some practice:

EXERCISE 4

Need a break? Try this GAME, especially if you like pizza 😉!

Now, you should get back to work and make sure you know when to use the PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE or the CONTINUOUS FORM. Need more practice?

4th ESO STARTER UNIT: WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

STARTER UNITS are always about revising what you learnt during the past school year. Don't worry if you feel a bit rusty after the summer, we all tend to disconnect 😉!

We will start revising some vocabulary related to HEALTH and WELL-BEING. Click on the words to get to a Quizlet to practise it. If that one is too easy for you, here you have a more demanding version of it: HEALTH and WELL-BEING 2.

Time to revise some grammar. Verbal tenses are essential, so you must make sure you know everything about them.

PRESENT SIMPLE / PRESENT CONTINUOUS 

EXERCISES

MODAL VERBS are used all the time. They all share some common characteristics and are a bit tricky, because they can have different meanings:

ABILITY (CAN/COULD)

OBLIGATION (MUST/HAVE TO/MUSTN'T/DON'T HAVE TO)

ADVICE 

Let's have a look at some more vocabulary, this time ADJECTIVES to describe PERSONAL QUALITIES. Here you have a matching game:

We also learnt about some tricky words: JOURNEY - TRIP - TOUR - TRAVEL. This video will help you understand these words:

Back to verbal tenses! 

PAST SIMPLE / PAST CONTINUOUS
