 Warm-ups
Write a long word on the board and ask students to
come up with at least 5 words they can make by using all
the letters in that word.
Write a list of 510 words on the board and ask
students to put these words into categories and give
each category a name.
Write a sample sentence using the language studied
in the previous lesson and circle the key language you
want students to revise. Ask them to write 5 similar
sentences with the caveat they can only repeat the
circled word or words, eg if you taught the modal can,
write Lesley can swim and circle can.
Have students write questions about the previous
lesson or module in pairs. They then exchange their
questions with another pair. Check with the whole class.
Prepare a short handout with a series of sentences
about the previous lesson or module making sure some of
the sentences are true and others are false. Students
pick a handout and work in pairs. Check with the whole
class.
Provide students with a graphic organizer. At the centre
PHOTOCOPIABLE
of the organizer, write a key word related to the topic
of the lesson or module. Around the centre, draw other
boxes for students to write their own examples. Ask
students to work in pairs or small groups completing the
graphic organizer. Share with the whole class.
Macmillan Publishers S.A. 2012
Write 3 questions related to the topic of the lesson on
the board. Students find the answers in the lesson and
compare their answers with a partner.
Refer students to a picture in a lesson they have already
studied and ask them, in pairs, to make a list of all the
objects, people or activities they can see in that picture.
Prepare a set of questions related to the previous lesson
or module and write these on slips of paper. As students
enter the classroom, they pick a piece of paper, go to
their seat and find the answer. They then stand up, find
a partner and ask the partner their question. If their
partner is able to answer, they then exchange questions
and find another partner to ask.
Provide students with 57 words studied in the previous
lesson or module and ask them to use all those words
in a sentence. The sentence has to be meaningful and
grammatically correct.
Ask students to prepare for the content of the lesson
by completing a K-W-L chart. This is a three-column
chart: K stands for What we know about the topic,
W stands for What we want to learn and L stands for What
we have learnt. At the beginning of the class, announce
the topic of the lesson and students work in groups
completing the first two columns of the chart.
Select 3 pictures of words which deal with aspects of
the topic in the lesson and ask students to find a way
to connect the words and the pictures. For example,
if you are dealing with a lesson on sports, you can
give students a picture of a ball, a watch and a park.
Students have to suggest ways in which the three
pictures can be put together (eg You play football in the
park for a certain number of minutes.).
93 |
 Closures
Have students select 5 key words from the lesson or
module and use them in an original true sentence that
says something about themselves. Ask students to
write that sentence in their folders and share it with the
class.
Write a list of 35 sentences which contain mistakes
students have made during the lesson and ask them to
correct them in pairs. Pairs then compare their answers.
Ask each student to select 3 new words they have
learnt in the lesson. Pair students up. They share their
words and use them all in an original sentence.
Ask students to work in pairs to complete a Venn
diagram on the contents of the lesson including these
two sections: What I knew about the topic before the
lesson and What I learnt in todays lesson.
Prepare sets of 3 sentences about the topic of the
lesson. Two of the sentences should be true and one
false. Read out the sentences and ask students to spot
the false sentence and correct it.
Exit tickets: As the lesson comes to a close, pose
a question related to the topic of the day and ask
students to write their name and the answer to the
question on a piece of paper. They hand in the paper to
you so as to leave the classroom.
| 94
If you have used a K-W-L chart, as suggested for the
warm-ups, devote the last 5 minutes of the lesson to
have students complete the last column in the chart.
Share with the whole class.
Use the same graphic organizer suggested for
the warm-ups and ask students to complete it with
ideas or words learnt in the lesson.
Ask students to write down 3 things they have learnt in
the lesson and to share these with a partner.
Ask students to complete a 3-2-1 + 1 organizer,
ie 3 things I learnt today, 2 things I liked about today,
1 thing I did not like about today, 1 question I have got
about today. Students complete their organizer and
exchange it with a partner. The partner has to provide an
answer to the question for the next lesson.
Provide students with an organizer which should have
5 concentric circles including each of these headings
in a circle: Topic of the day, Me, My classmates, My
friends outside the school and My family. Ask them to
think about how the topic of the lesson may apply or be
relevant to the people described in the circles.
Bleep!: As a fun way to end the lesson, prepare a series of
sentences related to the topic of the day containing new
PHOTOCOPIABLE
words students should have learnt during that lesson.
Then read out the sentences making sure you substitute
the new words by bleep. Students work in pairs trying
to provide the right word. For example, for parts of the
house, you could say, I generally watch TV in the bleep but
do my homework in my bleep.

 Brainstorming

1 Listen to the word your teacher is going to give you and write it in the centre bubble below.
Appoint a secretary to write down your groups ideas.
2 Think of four categories that connect to that word. Start giving ideas about each of the four
categories. Everyone must contribute at least one idea. Continue giving ideas for three minutes.
Everything is written down (quantity before quality).
3 Synthesize and organize: After three minutes, stop and work together. Look for repetitions and create
new categories if needed. As you work, add more ideas if you have some (quality before quantity).
4 Synergy: Share your groups work with the rest of the class.
