1. The first thing you must do is each make your own box. Your teacher will hand out a pattern which you will use to cut out the cardboard for your box. It is better to use cardboard rather than paper because it will make your box stable and easy to work on. Follow your teacher’s instructions. Do not fold your box before you have finished writing and drawing on it.
2. Look at the picture below to understand what you must do.
3. Write your autobiography (up to now) and predict your future. Imagine your whole life set before you on a 3D-box!
(a) On the one side write about your past. For example, where you were born, what your pet’s name was, where you used to live, what your favourite food was, etc.
(b) On the other side describe yourself as you are now. Who you are, how old you are, your favourite sport, colour, car, hobby, subject, how many brothers and sisters you have, where you live, etc.
(c) Finally, write about your future. On the other side of the box, write and explain what your dreams are for your future. The other sides of the box are for you to decorate in any way you like.
A presentation of your life
In this next activity, you are going to present your 3D-autobiography box to the class just like the boy in the picture is doing. Remember that this is like a speech and you have to prepare it and follow the rules for making a speech.
Below are important guidelines to remember when you’re making a speech.
Guidelines for making a speech
• The audience must want to hear what you have to say.
• Remember to always make it interesting or important.
• The audience must be able to hear and understand you.
• Always make eye contact with the audience. They should all think you are speaking to each of them.
1. Using your 3D-box as an aid, present your autobiography to the class. Also tell them what your dreams for the future are. Below is a checklist to guide you.
2. Keep a list of the names of your classmates and write a few words about each one’s dream. Draw the table below in your exercise book and list each one’s dreams in it.
3. Did any of the other dreams for the future make you change your own dream? In what way? Write out your new dream or write why you don’t want to change your dream.
Phrases with the word ‘dream’
In the next activity you are going to look at phrases that are often used in the English language. These are idioms that are often not the same as those used in other languages, and are therefore difficult to translate. These phrases all contain the word ‘dream’ or ‘dreams’. You are going to have to find the correct meaning of each phrase and then make sentences with them.
1. Match the phrases using ‘dream/s’ with their definition in the right hand column.
2. Make sentences using the phrases in the left hand column to show that you know what they mean.
3. Now that you know the meaning of these phrases, discuss the following questions in your group.
(a) Have you had a recurring dream? Describe it to your group.
(b) What would your dream job be?
(c) Have you ever had a dream come true? Tell your group about it.
(d) Have you ever organised or done anything that went like a dream? Or anything that went disastrously? Tell your group.
(e) Has anything happened to you that was beyond your wildest dreams? Tell your group.
(f) Can you think of a time when you said to yourself ‘dream on’? Tell your group.
Tenses
Tenses are used in our everyday written and spoken language. Tenses tell us whether actions happened in the past, are happening or happen now, or will happen. Look at the table on the next page:
You need to understand all these tenses to use the language correctly. Ask your teacher to help you if you are still not sure about some of the tenses, their formats or uses.
In the next activity you are going to do exercises using different tenses. Be sure to double check how each tense is formed, as well as when it is used. Your teacher will help you with an example in each of the exercises.
1. Write the following sentences one step further in the past.
(a) Andrea is dreaming about tomorrow’s test.
(b) Christine draws the most beautiful pictures.
(c) We sang the whole day and night.
(d) Sipho will eat that pizza if you buy it for him.
(e) Richard has a recurring dream.
2. Join the following sentences with ‘if’, ‘when’ or ‘while’, by using the tenses required.
(a) They sing a song. Nadine plays the guitar. (future + if + present)
(b) Sarah finishes her homework. Sarah’s mother is making supper. (simple past + while + past continuous)
(c) Jacob is daydreaming. Cynthia calls him. (past continuous + when + simple past)
(d) Jason finished all the chocolates. His sister comes home. (past perfect + when + simple past)
(e) Sandla will practise tennis. His friends go to the movies. (future continuous + when + present)
(f) Naomi will tell her dream. She dreams of her favourite star. (conditional + if + past)
