Cut up the cards

Suggested Teaching Method:

This handout provides extensive speaking practice of participles with prepositions.

Divide the students into groups. Give one set of cards to each group. Ask a student in each group to
shuffle the cards, and place them upside-down in a pile.

Students should then choose a card, and ask the questions to other members of the team. Encourage
follow-up questions.

The teacher should monitor, but not interrupt, unless really necessary. Take notes of any particularly
heinous English mistake, and go through it at the end. It might be best to write a few incorrect sentences
on the board after the activity is over, and encourage self / peer correction.
