Entertainment programmes focus on the worlds of music, cinema and theatre, fashion and literature. There are bound to be lots of areas of interest for your students, so here are a few ideas to help you get started on using this series in class:
1. Webquest: Tell students the title and topic of the programme and give them 10-15 minutes to do an internet search for information on the topic. They make a few notes on what they find, and share the information with the rest of the class before listening.
2. Make your own programme: after listening to a programme students script a similar programme about a similar aspect of entertainment from their own country or culture. They can record themselves and play back to the class, or if there is no recording equipment available, they can 'perform' their programme 'live' for the class.
