| DescriptionTo start with the class, the teacher will pass the attendance sheet and she/he will ask some questions to pupils to practice with greetings such as: “Hello. How are you? What’s the weather like today? Where are you from? What is your favourite food?” and so on. Furthermore, we can also propose that students ask questions among them.
After that, pupils will recite the Egyptian poem that they learnt in the first session. Students know that after the poem the class begins and that they will start by developing activities and learning new content. |

| ACTIVITY 1 | |||
| Grouping OptionsPair work | Time15 minutes | Resources-Worksheet “Egyptian society” (Annex 7) | |
| DescriptionThe teacher will ask them what they did and learnt in the previous session, reminding contents and linking the different sessions of the unit. Besides, the teacher will share with pupils the aims of the sessions and he/she will explain what they are going to do and to learn during the lesson.
In this first activity, students will work in pairs. The teacher will provide to each pair the Worksheet “Egyptian society”. Students will have to match each group of people with their description. They will have to do it, if it’s possible, without help; but they will have a picture of each group of people where they can see the meaning of the new vocabulary and, in order to understand the sentences, they will also have pictures of the most difficult words. When they have finished, they will correct it everybody together. |

Each group will have the worksheet “Egyptian hierarchy”, where they will have to guess the order of the pyramid hierarchy of the Egyptian society writing the names of the group of people that they have learnt. The pyramid will be corrected by the whole class and then, each group will have to complete the sentences of the worksheet, remembering the form of doing comparatives, learnt in the session 1 and taking account the order of the pyramid too. | |||
