2. Overall information about this book.
- The Student Books consist of eight units. Units have four two-page lessons that are designed for a 50
minute class but which can also fit longer or shorter classes.
- After every two units, there is a Check Up unit review lesson. Additionally, in Levels 1 to 6, there is a
Bonus lesson and a Project.
- The Bonus lesson in Levels 1 and 2 features phonics. In Levels 3–6, the Bonus lesson features skills.
Every unit contains these four lessons:
+ Lesson 1: This lesson introduces the unit topic. It presents six new vocabulary items, and then
contextualizes them in a large illustrated scene. It also presents the first two grammar points. Exercises are
carefully staged to introduce and practice the new language, and then lead students into actively producing
what they have just learned.
+ Lesson 2: This lesson adds four new vocabulary items and a grammar point related to the unit theme, and
to Lesson 1. Language presentation and practice are followed by further practice in a song or chant. The
lesson culminates in a fun activity that allows for personalization or more open production and meaningful
language use.
+ Lesson 3: The third lesson uses a story to introduce chunks of functional, communicative language in a
conversation, and to demonstrate a global value to help students become better citizens, both of their
6
classrooms and their communities. The story centers on the cast of continuing characters that students will
come to know and identify with. In Starter Level, a video of the story is available to highlight the
characters and their interactions, bringing the stories to life.
+ Lesson 4: In Levels 1 to 6, the final lesson in each unit has a CLIL focus, opening with a video. The
lesson teaches four new vocabulary items and builds on the grammar of the previous lesson. Each lesson
has a cross curricular connection to school subjects such as math, health, social studies, science, and art.
Critical thinking activities and graphic organizers help students practice age-appropriate academic skills.
Lessons end with a poster exercise using vocabulary and language in new, rich visual contexts. In Starter
Level, this final lesson is a phonics lesson focusing on introducing the alphabet letters, their sounds, and
vocabulary.
+ Check Up: After every two units, a two-page Check Up lesson helps students consolidate the vocabulary,
grammar, and conversational language they have learned. In Levels 1 to 6, when students have completed
the activities in the lesson, they complete aself-assessment section, rating how well they’ve learned the
material and identifying areas for further practice. In Starter Level, students finish their review with a fun
board game that uses language they have learned.
+ Bonus Lesson and Project: In Levels 1 to 6, after the Check Up, there is a Bonus lesson and a Project. In
Levels 1 and 2, the Bonus lesson features phonics, which teachers can use to present and review the letters
of the English alphabet and the sounds those letters make. In Levels 3 to 6, the Bonus lesson features
7
integrated skills with activities for reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The Bonus lesson is followed
by a Project. These projects encourage students to collaborate, communicate, and be creative in real ways
through creating posters, books, artwork, and other tangible items to present and share. The projects
require some basic materials and may also utilize photocopiable templates available on the Teacher’s
Resource Center CD-ROM. Each project includes a Home-School link that encourages students to share
their work and language at home.
* Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) Tests
- In many areas, students will take the Cambridge English: Young Learners (YLE) tests. To help prepare
for this, much of the content of Everybody Up, such as vocabulary items and grammar structures, serves to
prepare students for these tests.
- Each Student Book features eight pages of exercises practicing listening, speaking, reading and writing as
they are focused on in the YLE tests.
- Additionally, the Teacher’s Resource Center CD-ROM contains YLE practice tests. These tests provide
specific practice in the style of the actual examinations, enabling you to choose task types and create
practice materials to prepare for these tests. Even if your students aren’t preparing for these examinations,
you can still use the tests to create extra practice, review tests, or worksheets, and to provide additional
skills practice.
- Further information on testing and evaluation can be found on the Teacher’s Resource Center CD-ROM.
