Activity 1: Warm-up · 7 minutes
Mystery Words
a) Aims
Ss recall the key vocabulary of Units 7 to 9 and identify the focus of the review lesson (Period 1).
b) Content
Ss listen to clues given by T and guess the word. Example clues: 'A film about real facts, with no made-up story' (documentary); 'A building where a king or queen lives' (palace); 'A famous place that helps people recognise a city' (landmark); 'Glasses you wear when you swim' (goggles). Ss then answer the question: 'What do we study in this review?'
c) Expected outcomes
Ss name the six words: cartoon, documentary, racket, goggles, landmark, palace. Ss state the focus: 'We review question words, linking words, past simple, imperatives, possessives and pronunciation.'

Step 1: Task delivering
T divides the class into two teams and explains the game: T reads a clue, teams have 10 seconds to write the answer on mini whiteboards.

Step 2: Task performance
T reads the clues one by one and monitors the teams.
Students
Ss discuss within their team and write the answer. Example: Ss write 'palace' for 'a building where a king or queen lives'.

Step 3: Report and discussion
T asks each team to show its answer and gives a point for each correct word. T asks: 'What is the difference between a cartoon and a documentary?'

Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T announces the winning team and writes the review focus on the board: question words, linking words, past simple, imperatives, possessives, pronunciation.
