Lesson 6 What are the fundraising ideas?

- In home groups. a) Read one of the articles (A, B or C) below and do the task b).
A When I read the article about poor¹ children in Africa I wanted to help by raising money. I discussed the idea with my classmates. We decided to raise money by walking around our local park in pyjamas! We called the project Sleepwalking. We went to the park one Saturday. We had a box for collecting money. We walked around the park in our pyjamas. We raised 150 pounds by people putting some coins in our box. All my classmates were involved. Everybody wanted to help the needy children in poor countries. The charity walk was a great fun! We donated the money to UNICEF* and we got a thank-you letter. [Рисунок справа от текста A: люди в пижамах на улице.]
B My friend Frank and I got the Childnet Award* for the best site on the Internet. It was Frank's idea to design a website. We wanted to use the Internet for involving other children in volunteering. We used the website to present the photos and the video about those in need. We asked children from other schools to contribute to charity. We also organised a charity week at our school to raise some money for poor¹ children. My schoolmates collected books and my Dad organised a charity run for the project. We donated the books and 200 pounds to Children in Need.* I feel really terrific, because I know I've done something good. [Рисунок справа от текста B: мальчик за компьютером, рядом стоят взрослые.]
C At school last term we had a non-uniform day. We wanted to raise money for Save the Children.* Pupils paid money for not wearing their uniform. We went to school in our home clothes.

Our teachers played against² pupils. We paid to [обрезано] [Рисунок справа от текста C: школьники за столом на благотворительной ярмарке.]

How to do a similar task
Look for the pattern: action + charity. Useful verbs are organised, decided, collected, raised, donated. You do not need to retell the whole text — just name the activity and the charity.
Check: 150 pounds and 200 pounds are separate amounts from different projects, so do not add them. In text C the total is not visible, so do not guess it.
