We were teaching my 3rd years relative pronouns (that, which, who) and I was told to think of an activity to practice. Anything was fine, they said. So, I thought of a sort of fun activity that is listening practice. I will admit the sentences are a bit odd, as in perhaps we would not say them in normal speech, but it worked, and it still tested their listening. I said some sentences, and the students had to listen and draw a picture! First the sentences, then the incredible artwork!
1. There is a lake that is in the middle of a park.
2. There are five trees that are by the lake.
3. There is a girl who is sitting under a tree.
4. There is a man who is swimming in the lake.
5. There is a table that is by the lake.
6. There is a cake that is on the table.
7. There are two ants that are eating the cake.
8. There are four flowers that are under the table.
9. There is a boy who is riding his bike by the table.
10. There is a giraffe that is listening to music by the lake.
11. There is a woman who is eating ice cream by the giraffe.
12. There are two monkeys that are playing soccer.
Ok, those were the sentences. Here are some randomly selected results:
These are so cute!
ReplyDeleteOnly Lissa would use the giraffe in the park as an animal.....
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! I was looking myself up, and I am also named Elissa... and called "Elissa-sensei" by my Japanese students (I taught as and ALT from JET program for 3 years...I just returned to the States in August). Small world!
ReplyDeleteI had a Geocities site for my teaching...but it went down along with Geocities...Best of luck to a fellow Elissa-sensei!
