Vocabulary Quiz
🕒~15-20 minutes ✍️ Define and Rephrase 🎯Vocabulary and Nuance
Before taking the quiz, compete against your classmate using Quizlet to see who can match definitions with the correct words. Enjoy!
Next, open Exam.net and choose the broad or narrow quiz. Or, if you have begun taking the Deep Path, continue there.
The narrow is more challenging as rephrasing requires of you to use the vocabulary that we studied, while the broad is less challenging and more general rephrasing sentences.
Bemindful of your spelling; incorrect spelling does not yield any points.
🕒~60-80 minutes
✍️ Watch and Listen

Time for the activity: ~20 minutes
This activity helps you develop your speaking and discussion skills
To begin with, discuss with your classmate(s):
Why are the rule of threes and anaphora particularly memorable in a speech?
How do you think the speakers developed throughout the four episodes? Did any of them grow as speakers?
In your opinion, who won the debate?
Create your own answer - Should the number of flights be limited by a quota - using the SEAL-method and a figure of speech. This is your group's exit ticket.
Use the vocabulary from today's lesson. Aim for one sentence per step of the SEAL-method:
Statement: Are in favour of or if you are opposed to the motion? (Yes, I agree that... or no, I disagree that ...)
Example: Give examples
Analyse: Explain how and why your examples are important, bolster and relate to the motion
Link: End with returning to your initial statement (Therefore, I believe that we should ... )
OPTIONAL: Record your arguments using Flip to receive feedback. If you want a challenge, use the vocabulary from today's lesson.
If you have chosen the Deep Path, it is mandatory to submit a recording where you present arguments in favour or opposed to the topic you've been focusing on.
