Body
Language

the communication between native and none
native speakers

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Get students to mime
different feelings and
emotions

Demonstrate the link
between body language
and structure: first point,
second point (but warning on
middle finger and V sign!)

Get students to practice
these with speech

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Eye Contact

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Demonstrate this to your
students: how do they react /
feel when you look them in the
eye? What is the purpose of
eye contact?

Get individual students to the
front of the class to practice

Devise a game for getting
students to practice eye contact

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

The stresses and pauses
exercise

“I think we’ll need to find a new venue for our party”
“I think we’ll need to find a new venue for our party”
“I think we’ll need to find a new venue for our party”
“I think we’ll need to find a new venue for our party”
“I think we’ll need to find a new venue for our party”

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

The Power of the
Pause

Demonstrate this to your
students:
ask them how they react / think
when you, as a teacher, pause.
Also, “why do people
sometimes find it hard to pause
in their presentations?”

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Steps..

1. Get the students to memorize the sentence
2. Ask them the meaning of the sentence with the key word stressed
3. Ask them how they would stress the word. Long or short? Loud etc?
4. Ask them where the pause should be
5. Get all students to say the sentence, standing up but by their seat
6. Introduce body language: what would be appropriate for each

sentence/word?
7. Get all students to say the sentence with body language, standing up

but, again, by their seat
8. Introduce eye contact
9. Get students to come to the front of the class and say the sentence,

making eye contact with specific individuals

Keep the pace brisk; give lots of praise; don’t be
afraid to get students repeating sentences; try and
make it fun.

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Free(er)

Students decide which words
should be stressed and where the

at the front of the class.

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &

Teach students how to
choose the ‘opening
words’ for their
presentation

formal and informal openers
Try and get them to write the first three
sentences of their presentation in the class

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Get students to think
about how they move
from one section of their
presentation to the next :

pause – “I’m now going to tell
you about XXXX” pause “…….

Get them to tell you why the
pauses are important

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Get / encourage students
to write a key point

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &

Any questions???

IBT, IDT, DD, LEB, &
WD--HURST

Private vs. Public

Internet Safety

What is private?

► Am I being asked to give out information
that reveals who I am or where I can be
found?

► You are dealing with strangers
► Protect your family, friends, and yourself
► Do not give out info without permission

Examples

► Full name
► Name of school
► Passwords
► Credit card numbers
► Parent’s place of work
► Photos
► Calling card numbers

Personal Information

► Ok to share this type of info
► It does not identify you in anyway

Examples

► Age
► Pets
► Brothers/sisters
► Opinion
► Favorite band
► Favorite food
► Favorite sport

Let’s see if you can tell the
difference:

STAYING SAFE ON
THE INTERNET

Common Sense Information

Never Give Out :

■ Your name
■ Your address
■ Your phone number
■ Your birthday
■ Your school name
■ Any other personal information

■ EVERY TIME YOU ENTER INFORMATION

YOU GIVE UP PRIVACY

Passwords are:

■ Valuable pieces of information
■ Can allow someone to access your Email
■ Allow access to you AOL account to charge

products sold on the Internet

No legitimate website or person would ever
quest them.

Dangers are:

➢ The Email may be a scam to sell you
something

➢ If you respond you are confirming a valid
Email address

➢ You can encourage the sender to forward
inappropriate Emails or add you to other
lists

Family Contract For Online Safety

Kids Pledge
1. I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the

name and location of my school without my parent’s permission.
2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
3. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the

meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.
4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message

like that. If I do I tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.
6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online,

the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without
their permission.
7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
8. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.

I AGREE TO THE ABOVE:

FORMS OF BUSINESS

Types of Businesses
Forms of Business Ownership

Forms of business ownership and types of businesses describe how they
are organized and run. The four main forms of business ownership are
listed below.
✉ A franchise is a
• sole proprietorship • partnership
combination, or
• corporation • franchise
hybrid, of the four

forms of ownership.

Sole Proprietorships

A sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person who is known
as the proprietor. The proprietor has a wide range of responsibilities
including arranging displays and selling to customers to name a few.
Funds to run the business usually come from the owner’s savings,
friends, family, or from a bank loan. If the business prospers, the owner
receives all of the profits. If the business does poorly, the owner is
responsible for its losses. This is called unlimited liability39.

Types of Businesses
Forms of Business Ownership

Partnerships

A partnership refers to a type of business in which two or more
individuals share the costs and responsibilities of owning and
operating it.

The terms of the partnership are recorded in the partnership
agreement. The most common form of partnership is a general
partnership. When two individuals form a limited partnership, the
partners are only responsible for the funds they both invested in the

.initial business. This is called limited liability

41

Corporations

A corporation is a business granted legal status with rights, privileges,
and

liabilities that are distinct from those of the people who work for the
business.

Corporations can be small such as a one-person business or large such
as

A multinational that conducts business in several different countries.

Small portions of corporate ownership that are owned publicly are called

stocks or shares. Individuals who own shares of a

corporation are called shareholders and become

owners of the business. Shareholders have

limited liability. A board of directors runs

a corporation that is owned by shareholders. 42

Franchises

The franchiser licenses the rights to its name, operating procedure,
designs, and business expertise to another business called the
franchisee.

A franchise agreement can provide the franchisee with
● a ready made, fully operational business
● brand recognition that is appealing to consumers

Requirements before a franchise is awarded may include
● paying the franchise fee
● agreeing to pay a monthly percentage fee as well as any national
or local advertising costs
● purchasing all supplies centrally from the franchise4r3
● participating in franchiser standards training
