Speaking practice classes

Dear teachers,

Below is my suggestion of a real good realia material for producing biographies on famous people.
I thought that for school classroom a good idea  is to take students to the lab and  have them search freely on someone they like. The objective of the lesson is to teach them to speak on the third person.
For example: Angelina Jolie lives in California, she has___kids. She is married. etc...
Allow students time for them to practice and later present it to the big group.
For those students who are shy, they can record their speech at home and hand it in on a cd/dvd or any other media gadget.

Adapting coursebook activities II

2- Shopping information gap An information gap exercise is a great way to engage students in speaking tasks. In a Shopping Information Gap , students are divided into pairs, and each is supplied with a worksheet with some information missing from it. Students ask each other questions to find the missing pieces. You can have students in pairs prepare an information gap  worksheet, or you may create your own information gap exercise on any coursebook topic.

Hello again! If you are a teacher in search of nice games and projects to develop with your students, maybe you´ll like these suggestions. So, here goes suggestion # 1. Hope you like it! Teacher Juliana   1. Tasting game If you are fortunate enough to have the real fruits easily available then bring them in and play a blindfold tasting game. Be careful to wash the fruits and your hands carefully beforehand and cut the fruits into small pieces. You can give the children the black and white pictures to be colouring in while you are doing that, or you can have the fruits pre-prepared, which would actually be a lot easier Teacher´s note :This game is very helpfull to develop projects  with the 5 senses and to teach abilities such as I can, I can´t or express likes and dislikes; I like.../ I don´t like... Enjoy it! Teacher Juliana
