1) Word to Sentence ~ Three Verb Forms
Use three basic forms of verbs to write three sentences: present, past, and future.
1) present ~ used for habits and routines 2) past ~ used for events beginning and ending in the past 3) future ~ used for events that have not yet happened
Example 1) I go to the gym every other day.
Example 2) I had dinner with my friend after my workout yesterday.
Example 3) We will download a movie and make popcorn this evening.
If possible, connect the three examples to make a story (consult teacher).
Note: In casual speech and writing, will and going to are often interchanged. In formal writing, they are different. Will is used when referring to the future with certainty. Going to is used to refer to planned events.
2) Unscramble the Sentences ~ Write the sentences in the correct order. Check as a class. Make sentences into questions. Check. Discuss. Example 1) their met my Sunday cousins at home last I. I met my cousins at their home last Sunday. I met my cousins last Sunday at their home. Where did you meet your cousins last Sunday? Who did you meet last Sunday? When did meet your cousins?
Example 2) farm was My brought up on a in Japan grandfather wasabi.
Example 3) prepare New My is going to uncle steak for Year¡¯s.
3) Brainstorming Words ~ Who You Want to Meet From one student to the next, think of a word and tell the class. Use the first/last letter technique: cat...time...every...year...run¡¦ new¡¦ weird...does/doesn¡¯t...etc. The teacher will write the list on the board. Next, students make sentences using words as they like. Make a story if you can¡¦ or just make sentences. Take a few minutes to read and share your results. The teacher will provide edits and conversation.
For example: My new cat is weird. It runs away every Christmas. I guess it doesn¡¯t like that time of year.
4) Dictation Questions ~
Write the questions dictated by the teacher then discuss the questions. (See Appendix).
5) Diary ~
Write a memory from your (recent) past, about your daily routines, or about your future (any thing any time). It could be about your family, friends, a song, a meal, a movie, a painful experience, a fun event, a book, internet content, childhood, future goals, news, social issues, or anything else. Then present it. Note: This activity may be used at the beginning of each class. As such, it may be assigned as homework.
6) Describe the Picture ~
Write about the picture, then make corrections together, and discuss with the class. |
