Ss have one dictionary per person/pair.  T quizzes Ss: 
	find three words starting with ‘thr’
	what’s the first four-letter word starting with ‘z’
	what’s the first word on page 324 and what’s it mean
	how do you pronounce these words: photo, photography, photogenic
	find two words you don’t know, and write them on a piece of paper - T puts all words on a single sheet, photocopies, and has Ss race to see who can find all words the quickest
	find three example sentences with the word ‘at’ - which words come after it’?
