Reading (Vocabulary work) 10-15 min

Put students into pairs or small groups and give out copies of the text

HI was walking along a path with two friends. The sun was setting. Suddenly the sky turned blood red. I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence. There was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city. My friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.

(Group work – group discussion)

Ask students to work together to do the following:

• Share and pool knowledge of any unknown words or language.

• Consider where the text came from.

• Consider what the connection between the text and the image is.

Give out blank paper and coloured pencils. Ask students to illustrate the text in any way that they see it.

(Students’ drawings)

The teacher puts the drawings on the blackboard and turns the classroom into the gallery.

Speaking:

• Ask students to compare their works.
• Find out if anyone has any more ideas about where the text came from before showing them the second image

Ask students what is happening in the picture (answer = an auction). Ask them to guess what is being auctioned

Show students the third picture

They will see that the item on sale at the auction is Munch’s Scream.

Speaking

Online work (group work)

Ask students to go online and find out about the artist and the painting. Ask them to make short notes.

• The artist and his life
• The theft of The Scream in 2004
• The sale of the painting in 2012
• The list of other most expensive paintings

Grammar work (Past Simple – Past Continuous)

Ask students to examine the text, which was given at the beginning, carefully and answer the following questions:

• How many past simple structures can you identify in the text?
• How many past continuous structures can you identify in the text?

Writing

Give students 2 or 3 minutes to read and memorise as much as possible about the text. While they are doing this write the key words from the text.

When time is up, ask students to put away the text and rewrite it from the memory.

Finally ask students to check their works in pairs. paintings
