Physical activity: Tour guide
  Preparation: (Optional) Get blindfolds for half the students (if this is not practical, you can just have people close their eyes.)
  What to do:
1. Students work in pairs. One is a tour guide. The other is a tourist. The tourist is blindfolded.
2. The tour guide directs the tourist around the classroom, giving directions and pointing out things that are interesting. The tour guide may not touch the tourist. Only spoken instructions are allowed. The tour guide encourages the tour guide to touch and pick-up objects. 
* Naturally, the tour guides need to be careful so the tourists don’t hurt themselves, bump into things or other people, etc.
3. You might want to follow this up with a discussion of what makes for good directions, things that were easy or difficult to explain, etc.

Skills: Listening
-Teacher shows video about Histogram (twig-bilim.kz)
-Afterwards, students and Teachers discuss this video as a whole class, and revise the new words with students. You can also discuss it while watching, by pausing where you need.

Quiz:
-After they discuss, students should be able to write a quiz and apply what they have learnt.
-Here you can use differentiation by task, by giving basic ones to less confident students, and core ones to more confident students.
