Activity Instructions
Language Focus: Unspecific
Vocabulary Focus: Unspecific
Level: Kids
Skill: Writing
Time: 20 minutes
Organisation: Students work individually
Stage: Reading
Suggested Method:

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

2. Focus students' attention on the instructions. Students design their own signs
about each of the seven short sentences. Tell the learners there is no limit on
what the sign can be like.

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, gather the pieces of work and put them around the room. Get
the learners to look at the different pieces of work and judge which individual sign
is the best for the seven sentences.
