This picture is not animated - it just looks like it's moving!

I've just found more another optical illusion powerpoint on my hard drive. I don't know where it came from!  You'll  need an IAWB or a projector to show it and it makes a great warmer, filler or cooler for your lessons.

Complete Lessons using PowerPoint for IELTS / EFL / ESOL - Valentine's Day and Relationships

Here's the second edition of my complete lessons using only PowerPoint slides. Can't be bothered to read the post? Get the lesson here

http://www.englishlanguagespacestation.com/powerpoint%20lessons/Relationships.pps



I think this lesson on relationships fits in really nicely with Valentine's Day, especially since the audio features a lady dumping her boyfriend. It's for pre-intermediate learners and should take about an hour. You only need the PowerPoint show above and working speakers to play the audio, students only need a pen and some paper.

Slide 2

Elicit different types of relationship from the class before you show the slide - mother, father etc. Now show the slide, students have to write their own explanation for each word.

Slide 3

Students match the phrasal verbs to the meaning.

Slide 4

Ask and annswer the pre-listening questions as a class before listening to the girl dumping her boyfriend. Students answer the gist question.

Slide 5

Now students listen again and answer the more detailed questions

Slide 6

Students ask and answer these questions in pairs or small groups. You can monitor and give feedback at the end.

Here's the PowerPoint lesson again
