need help on Unit 7, page 8

I am really stuck on Unit 7, page 8. I have made numerous attempts but can't seem to get it right.

I have to state whether each example is a guiden role play, dialogues, drilling, open pairs or individual.

Students read a passage in pairs, filling in the gaps with a word of their choice.

Practise the pronunciation of I'd like... rather than I would like... as a class together, then test on a few individuals to see if they are saying it correctly

Stand in a circle. One student throws a soft toy to another student and asks a question (What would you do if you won the lottery?) to the student who catches, who then answers (I would buy a yacht) and throws to someone else and asks a question (What would you do if you won the lottery?) and so on

Give the students lots of shop item words and phrases and one is the shop assistant and the other is the customer. They need to use the phrases you have given them

Brainstorming ideas of what you could do if you won the lottery as a pre-cursor to an activity

I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me!

Dear Emily

If it is any consolation I am having the same issue with these questions.

Firstly, I think everyone is aware of what 'brainstorming' is however there is not no mention of this type of activity in either the on-screen text or the pdf file. Therefore it cannot be assigned with one of the drop down menu options: it is not 'drilling', 'guided role play' etc.

Secondly, I also find the text a little confusing ... after discussing 'dialogues' it then says:

"It doesn’t have to be dialogues, it could be completing sentences or a gap fill or even a Find Someone who... The point is that activities can get progressively less controlled as the lesson goes on."

One of the questions then asks: "Students read a passage in pairs, filling in the gaps with a word of their choice ."

So, what technique is this? We have been told it is NOT dialogues but yet again, none of the dropdown options seems to fit.

I have got to the stage that I have resorted to answering the question by a process of elimination! That should not be the case! I am getting frustrated with this section!!

Please let me know if you have resolved the issue.

Take care ... good luck.

David
