Big Surprise! captivates classes with a rich variety of stories and story-telling options including story cards and animations.
Each level has six beautifully illustrated stories that explore different genres from traditional fables and fairy tales to modern action-adventure.
Build a solid language base.
Extra communication activities and games provide practice in all skills and the real-life photo-stories help bring useful everyday phrases in English to life.
Guided writing activities consolidate language, and speaking activities give students the opportunity to personalize language in meaningful contexts.
Engaging cross-curricular and culture content.
Eye-catching photography and topics get children thinking about other subjects and their own life experiences. Review sections every two units include real-world information, photos and topics of cultural interest, giving students a chance to reinforce their learning.
More for mixed-ability classes
To help with efficient classroom management and cater for various levels of ability, Big Surprise! provides four levels of worksheets for each key lesson.
For students who are ahead of the rest, there are fast-finisher activities, as well as challenge-level tests to really stretch them.
Get families involved
A special emphasis on the link between home and school identifies opportunities for families to contribute to their child’s learning.
The full-colour Skills Booklet packaged with the Class Book includes a letter to parents, English-at-home activities, and a progress chart to help learners strengthen their skills and competencies.
