Ask pupils to look at the title of the unit and to explain what it means (the relationships between people in the same
family).

get on so well with.
PRE-LESSON Ask pupils to look at the picture and the caption and ask them to say how appropriate the caption is for the picture. If
they have trouble answering the question, ask them what the picture shows (three different hands which belong to
people of different ages - a child's hand, a young adult's hand, and an elderly person's hand).
Ask them to describe how and why people's hands change as they get older and what a person's hand can reveal
about him or her. (Close Up Student’s
Book p.5)

Draw pupils' attention to the Exam Close-up box and tell them that these boxes are used throughout the book to give
them tips about how to do specific tasks.
Tell pupils to read the box and then ask a student to explain what it says in his or her own words to the rest of the
class. Explain that they have already read through the text twice, so they can now go on to the task.
Ask pupils to read the instructions, questions 1-10 in the Exam Task box and their options T (True) or F (False). Explain
anything the pupils don’t understand.
Explain to pupils that they should try to underline the parts of the text Meet the ancestors that refer to each of the
LESSON questions. Point out that the Exam Task questions follow the same order as the text.
DEVELOPMENT Ask the pupils to do the task individually but check answers as a class.

Remind them that they should always try to work out the meaning of a word from the context it is in and ask them to
read the sentences each word is in.
Ask pupils to read the instructions and check that they understand what they have to do.
Ask pupils to do the task individually but check answers as a class. (Close Up Student’s Book p.7 – Activity F)
