Unit Structure

* Warm Up : There are three Warm-Up activities in each unit prior to each dialog. These are typically pair-work exchanges. These elicit target language related to the dialogs.
* In Context : The dialogs show the target language in an ongoing storyline context. The students listen to, read, and/or role play the dialogs.
* Word Building : The students have clear reference to individual sentences and phrases to help consolidate the target language.
* Controlled Practice : The students look at the first picture and read what is written below it. Then, either individually or as a class, they make similar sentences, or questions and answers, about the other pictures.
* Follow Up : A third dialog features different parodied characters in a humorous context. They use target language to express a joke or a pun. Students can also listen to this dialog on the audio files.
* Communication Activities : This section encourages the students to use the new words and structures in a relaxed and fun environment.
* Review : Questions and activities help to consolidate the new words and structures learned throughout the current unit and previous units.
