•
•
Students read messages from different people and decide if they agree or disagree on an issue. Students say if they agree or disagree with the opinions and try to give a reason why. Students start a KWL chart to include questions about what they want to know.

Subsidiary SKILL(s)
Activity 1 • As a class, look at the picture in the Student’s Book or, if possible, take students to the school printer. Discuss what a printer does and how you use one (with a computer). You could also look at the different functions on a printer (it may be able to scan or make photocopies too; it may print in colour and/or black and white; it may print photos on photo paper and in different sizes). • Ask students to find examples of or suggest what their school uses the printer for, such as letters home, wall displays, worksheets, etc. • Ask students how school and classes might be different if the school had or did not have a printer. Support and extend
•
Are students heads up, listening, ready to learn? Are they putting up their hands to answer your questions? Are partners speaking equally and on topic?
Are students participating and willing to share their ideas?
Support: Write some useful language on the board for students to use in their discussions, for example: I think printing has/hasn't changed the way we learn and teach because the teacher can/can’t…, I agree/disagree because… If we did/didn’t have a printer in school, we could/couldn’t… What do you think?
