Reading 1, Totally True 1 Review 2

dbrewster — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 05:50:41 +0000

This is the same format as the previous review lesson I posted.

The aim of this lesson is to review most of the key vocabulary presented in lessons five to eight. It is also meant to be a way of getting students mentally and physically active (pair work, followed by group work as teams), and a ‘fun’ way of reviewing language.

There are three activities and I have suggested approximate times that each should take based on experience using similar activities in previous classes.

• Review 1 – Pair work – Jigsaw reading (35 minutes)
• Review 2 – Group work (combine pairs from Review 1) Crossword (15 minutes)
• Review 3 – Quiz (Snatch) (35 minutes)

Activities for reviewing technical writing vocabulary

Paul Joyce — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:47:54 +0000

As part of most writing courses, there are a number of technical writing terms that students need to be aware of. However, few of the first year students are familiar with these words at the start of the year. To help them review these words, I’ve been using a few vocabulary related warm-up activities. The crossword is self-explanatory, but there are teacher’s notes for the pelmonism activity. I’ve focused on the vocabulary, topic sentence, transitions, details, draft, mind map, paragraph, sentence, and indent, but you can easily adapt the materials to anything you want.

Let’s Talk Unit 8 Entertainment Vocabularly Challenge

Charles Olson — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 01:47:31 +0000

A vocabulary challenge is a good schema building activity that can get individuals, pairs or groups going on a topic.
I prefer to put students in pairs or small groups, requiring all of them to have the same answers on their sheet. Be prepared to circulate around the classroom a lot, as students often have questions about what is being asked for.
When the students have finished, you can mix the groups up and have them compare answers, or take it up as a whole class.

Let’s Talk Unit 6 Activity (20 Questions)

Charles Olson — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 01:44:07 +0000

This is a kind of “find someone who…” activity that is based on Unit 6 “Food and drink”. However, it could be used at any time during the year as a warm up or as review. it can be used as a find someone who activity, requiring students to speak to 20 of their classmates, or you could have students interview 5 students and have them ask four questions each.
Because of the amount of time involved witht this activity (20mins. or more), I don’t require students to write the names of the students they talk to, nor the extra question that they think of themselves, just the answers.
