170 Part III: How To Teach Skills Class
The exercise continues until the entire document is reproduced accurately.
Whilst the activity is taking place, give encouragement and make sure
that the work is legible.
When the teams have finished, award points for speed and accuracy.
Decide on a winner and award a prize.
As a class, discuss what they agree/disagree with from the rules and
review the language of rules (do/don’t, must/mustn’t, should/shouldn’t
and so on).
- Writing activity 2 (25 minutes): Divide the class into four smaller
groups. Within these groups students must agree on five things pupils
should do and five they should not do when learning English (allow for
creative license). Make dictionaries available.
Give each group a large sheet of paper and a couple of markers. Ask
them to write up a poster explaining their rules.
When the posters are complete, one representative from each group
should give a short presentation explaining it.
Display the posters in class.
