apprehensive about.
Teacher asks the class the question below (If there are learners who are already famous
in the class for a certain characteristic, the teacher can make reference to that instead):
'Who here do you think nee dn”t be very sleepy today?'
Teacher asks learners to suggest people and explain their reasons why.
The students are given the worksheet and are asked to complete the worksheet, working
in pairs. When learners have finished completing the sentences, the teacher asks them to get up
and walk around to check their ideas with the people they have named.
The teacher encourages discussion, but monitors closely. This will help guide the next
steps if she is using this exercise to introduce this area.
To finish the exercise, she asks the class how successful they were in guessing and
elicits any interesting answers they want to share.
What do you think are the secrets of your class? Answer the questions below in pairs:
