Vocabulary Focus: Unspecific
Level: Kids

Time: 15 minutes
Organisation: Students work individually
Stage: Controlled writing practice
Suggested Method:

1. Copy one handout for each individual student and distribute them.

2. Focus students' attention on the instructions. Students look at the letter and try
to write the relevant parts to them in the spaces. Provide a model if you think
your learners will struggle with the language.

3. Monitor the students, and when appropriate provide any necessary individual
language or vocabulary input.

4. Give students a warning when their time limit is about to expire and then insist
on pens down and heads up.

5. For feedback, there are a number of options including students writing some/all
of the answers on the board, students contributing their responses out loud, and
collecting and marking the work etc.

6. Draw the students' attention to any specific mistakes which seem prevalent
through the work and offer language input.
