My summer in five words. 

Choose exactly five English words that represent your summer. You have to discover the stories by asking questions:

My example:My summer in five words:

🏖️ Wales – Planes – Portugal – Grandchildren – Reunion

You: Why did you choose Wales?                              Me: You have to find out! Ask me some questions.

You: Did you go to Wales on holiday?                     Me : Yes.

Student: Who did you go with?                                 Me: I went with a friend.

Student: Where did you stay?                                  Me: We stayed in Bangor.

Then move on to plane, make connections: “Did you travel to Wales by plane?” “Did anything go wrong?” “Was it the only flight you took this summer?”

My summer in five words. 

Choose exactly five English words that represent YOUR summer. Your Partner has to work out the story behind each word by asking questions. 

You may not simply explain your five words. Your partner has to uncover the story by asking questions.

Use at least two follow-up questions per word so it becomes a genuine conversation rather than an interview.

2 minutes to think of your five words

5 minutes for each partner to guess the story behind the words

Desert Island

 Imagine that you're being exiled to a desert island and can take only one item along. If you are having a hard time thinking of  something,  what about favorite books, or a favorite movie, etc.

Sit so that your partner cannot see what you are drawing and make a simple drawing of your "survival item".

Sit back to back so that your partner cannot see you. Student A describe your drawing in detail: Student B draw what you hear!

SWAP ROLES: KEEP YOUR DRAWING FOR NEXT LESSON!
