1. Tell the students they are preparing part of a candidate's campaign for election to a post in either national or local government. What sort of things should their candidate promise in order to gain votes: what undertake will be done? For example: The main road in this town will be widened. A new school will be built. More jobs will be provided for young school-leavers.
2. Elicit a few such suggestions from the class and write them on the board. Then divide the class into groups, each of which is supporting a different candidate: they work out a programme of what will be done if their candidate is elected, and write it out. Supply new vocabulary as asked for, and write it on the board.
3. Then the 'candidates' (role-played by one member of each group) present their programmes, supported and prompted if necessary by members of the groups. Finally, one of the candidates may be selected by the class in a democratic election (participants are not allowed to vote for 'their' candidates).
