Level 2 Reading Unit 17 Crazy Inventions

Jim has made a great set of cards we use in the EAP course which suit this unit perfectly. They are of crazy inventions and there are six sets of A4 size cards. They can be found in an old green ‘Film Pouch’ box at the bottom of the folder shelf in the part time area.

Procedure:

  • Put students into groups and have them answer two questions:

1. What is the invention for?

Example: I think it’s using when you have a cold.

2. Make up a product name.

Example: Tissue helmet.

  • Collate answers on OHP or board.

I used this as an introduction to the unit and the students really enjoyed the humorous ideas presented.

In fact the 2 Simons made them, I think.
