A fully-resourced lesson with a powerpoint and worksheets included. Suitable for AQA Language Paper 2 practice. **Main focus: Analysing two non-fiction articles on waste and over-indulgence during the festive period. ** Article 1- Plastic found in Christmas jumpers and the impact of ‘fast fashion’ on the environment. Article 2- How much money Millenials spend on their pets. Lesson Outline: Starter task- students write one sentence arguing whether pets should be bought presents (challenge- use a persuasive feature). Students read the articles and complete the True/False statements based on what they have read. Compare the articles and explore the attitudes/viewpoints of the writers. Q5 practice- A teacher was overheard saying:.‘There is far too much waste at Christmas. Young people should stop buying things they don’t need.’ Write a persuasive speech for your school assembly arguing your point of view regarding this statement.

Introduce the grammar and phrases that use ‘have’ and ‘has’. Students practice using the phrases through a guessing game. They look at the close up of the object and must race to say the target phrase " Have you got a pen?", “Have you eaten a kiwi fruit?” etc. Show example phrases (gap fill activity) and students need to apply their knowledge and say whether it should be ‘have’ or ‘has’. Card game- Players ask each other set questions on their question sheets. For example “Have you been to Scotland?” and they choose someone to address the question to. If the player has the matching card they must answer “Yes I have” and the first player can tick it off their sheet. If they don’t have the card they respond “No I haven’t.” and the player’s turn is over. Full instructions for the card game are included in the ppt- the task requires some cutting preparation but with a guillotine it will not take too long at all. There are 96 colourful cards in total and I found that groups of 4-6 players worked best. I have included the lesson powerpoint, a PDF printable version of the game cards and also the powerpoint with the card templates so that you can ammend and change the playing cards to suit your needs.
