First Year Secondary Education
Call students to the front of the class, mostly at random. (You might want to use
a more outgoing seeming student first) Show the student an adjective, and they
have to act it out for the other students to guess the word. No speaking allowed
by the student doing the acting.
Mix together easy and difficult adjectives so the student talking doesn't know
what kind he or she is going to get.
Easy examples - fast, happy, cold, sleepy, short
Difficult examples - wet, rich, lazy, late, smart
The objective of this activity is ...to wake the students up in the morning. Simply
ask them: "What made you smile today?" And let them tell you about the things
that made their day/morning.
This activity is for the first day of class with students who don't know each
other. It requires no preparation.
The students must ask each other question until they find three things that they
have in common. They must be things that are not obvious. For example, they
can't say we both have black hair.
It is easy to model the activity interviewing a student until you find three things
that they have in common with you. Maybe choose a student you already know
for this so you don't have to spend too long.
Students can repeat this several times and then report back their
findings to partners or the class
Beyond introductions
Have pairs prepare interview questions to create a ficticious person. Then they
present that person to the class in the same way that they presented each other.
Then, put two of the groups together and ask them to come up with a 15 to 20
line dialogue between the two ficticious persons.

Asking about one’s opinion:
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true
before, is true now, and will be true in the future.
Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the
near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public
transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a
specific time in the past
