Teaching Notes

The activities are simple to use and self explanatory but a

few tips may be useful.

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

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.
