Teaching Notes The activities are simple to use and self explanatory but a few tips may be useful. Type A Type A
Start with a discussion to set the context. See how many words the students already know. Read through the words carefully for pronunciation practice. Play a 'Can you tell me number 4 please?' Game around the group.(The 'please' is important !) Type B
Type B
Encourage learners to use three different colours to underline /colour code the words into categories. (This has much more impact than just underlining them in biro!) Students write the words in the Category 'shapes'. Each student chooses 3 words (secretly) and puts them into sentences (or a little story). The other students listen hard to identify the 'special' words. Brainstorm some more words for each category.
