Teacher shows pictures of different cities. Elicit what photographs show – city in Kazakhstan. Learners report what they see e.g. some tall flats, white buildings, some gardens with different shapes, fountains, a palace, glass, a shopping centre etc. (W, P

Teacher demonstrates two images of Astana now and in the past.

Ask learners to work in pairs:

• What differences can you find between Astana now and Astana in the past?

• Which city do you like most? Why? (not)

e.g. The photo is in black and white; the flats are smaller; the buildings are lower; the gardens are different.

Teacher distributes Venn diagram with two circles headed Astana now and Astana before and explains the leaners what to do. Learners record some differences and a similarity in the diagram. (P) (f)

Descriptors for assessment. (Peer assessment)

If a learner could compare:

• Buildings;

• Streets;

• Vegetation;

• Mentions at least one extra information.

They compare diagrams with another pair.

Teacher writes the word ‘city’ on the board. Suggest learners to write 6-8 places in a city they know around ‘city’.

e.g. shop, street, bank, bus station, café, cinema, hospital, library, market, park, sports centre, square, supermarket

Teacher supports less able-learners with word bank. (differentiation by teacher support)

Teacher monitors to identify those learners who know many places and those who know a few.

Learners compare the words.

Teacher offers learners to write definitions or what they can do in these places. (P, f)

e.g. Bank – is a place where people can change money.

Street – can be wide or narrow, there are people and cars.

Pairs check each other’s answers, compare if they have the same or different answers.
