BUILD YOUR OWN MALL You are going to plan a small mall to be built near your school, on the grounds of the old cemetery. Theres space for ten shops, a three screen cinema, a small sports centre, a skate park and a food court. You have to decide: a) What shops you want to include and where (there are spaces for shops on the ground floor b) Where you think the cinema, sports centre and food court should go (there is a large first floor space, and additional space on the roof) c) Parking space is included under the mall so you dont need to worry about that! Discuss your decisions and complete the plan.

Teachers notes Aim: to recycle/activate vocabulary to talk about shops, to recycle/consolidate use of comparatives and superlatives (grammar point in current CB unit) Procedure 1 You may want to kick off by asking students about the shopping malls in the area: which are the biggest, best, which they go to most often, do they go with their parents or their friends, do they like going there, why/why not, what they do there. 2 Hand out the quiz to do in pairs or groups. Stress that they have to guess if youre into game shows could give it a betting twist they have to decide which answer to bet on. 3 Read out the text below to check answers. Alternatively give them it as a reading text, or yet another alternative, use it as a dictogloss/dictation. 4 [could be an alternative point at which to leasd the discussion in 1?] 5 Vocabulary brainstorming either ask them to complete the words given, or ask them first to brainstorm shop names and then compare their list with the one given.
