It  is composed of four parts:

• Texts
• Data bank
• Students' Worksheet
• Teacher's notes

Task 1:
For this  exercise, the students will need both  the 'Texts' and the 'Data Bank'
The texts have been divided into several parts ( from a few words to several paragraphs and numbered in red figures) corresponding to the   items listed and numbered (also in red) in the Databank. Have the students read the text - if necessary elicit the vocabulary - and   complete  the Databank  by filling in the blanks with the words / phrases / sentences from the text  that may be used  to express the given idea(s).
 

Task 2 :
Use the Students' Worksheet.

Exercises 1 and 2 are  simple and  do not necessarily require the students  using the now completed 'Data Bank'
Exercise 2 is best done orally. Weaker classes / students can rely on the 'Presentation' box only, while more advanced classes / students will be encouraged to draw from the databank.

Exercises 3 and 4 involve describing more complex devices  and could be done in writing so as to enable  the students to refer to the information contained in  the databank

Exercise 5   is much more difficult and  requires an Internet connection to  http://www.howstuffworks.com/
Since downloading from this site is fairly slow ( due to the advertising banners) it could be a good idea to work from the How Stuff Works CD-ROM.
Students will be invited  to present  'their' product / device orally.
