Your first task is going to be connected with some proverbs about home and motherland  and some vocabulary from Unit 8. You have to find them hidden in the image of WordArt on the board. But before it, you should put together the words on the sheets of papers on your desks in order to have YOUR saying: two teams, two different proverbs. You will stick those sayings on your posters.(Children work in their groups. They form proverbs from the sheets of paper on their desks and then they find them on the image of Word art on the board in the interactive presentation. The teacher could ask them to find as many words from  unit 7 as they can.)
