Brief Outline: Students write and ask yes/no questions to decide what type of people their friends are. The questions are based on the grammar they learnt in grade 3.
Materials Needed:
Detailed Explanation:
- Draw a small pyramid flow chart on the board before class. As a demonstration, ask the JTE questions using the flow chart, working downward based upon the responses.
- Hand out the worksheet and give the students about 10-20 minutes to fill-in-the-blanks with any yes/no questions they like. The students are free to use their textbooks for reference. NOTE: The grammar used is from the New Horizon series but could easily be adapted for any textbook.
- As the students are writing,walk around the class and help the students and take note the best questions. When the fastest students are almost finished, write some of the best questions on the board to help the slower students.
- Demonstrate step 5-6 with a volunteer.
- Have the students stand up, find a partner and play Janken. The winner asks their questions and the loser must answer with full sentences: "Yes, I have." or "No, I haven`t."
- At the end of the questions the winner says, "You are (final box)." The loser signs their name at the bottom of the winner's worksheet (1-8).
- The students find another partner, rinse and repeat.
Variations:
- You can add/subtract questions/grammar points on the worksheet to increase/decrease the difficulty.
Teaching Suggestions:
- As for the small class sizes, there are no changes needed. This activity works well with as few as four students.
