I’d like to share
a technique that I sometimes use when I teach ET 2 lesson 2 about third person
singular. It can be used as skill practice, summing up or review. I only need a
ball to do this. Followings are the steps:
1.
T asks all Ss to think of one daily activity.
2.
T asks all Ss to stand up in circle;
3.
T says a sentence about daily activity. For example, “ I get up” then throws the ball to
student A;
4.
A repeats the previous
sentence using third person singular :“ She gets up ” and
creates a new sentence, for
example, “I eat lunch” , then A throws
the ball to another student (B), then A sits down. Next, B changes A’s sentence
into third person singular (only A’s sentence) : “He eats lunch.” Then, B
creates a new sentence, for example, “I clean my bedroom.” and throws the ball
to student C, then B sits down. After that, C changes B’s sentence into third
person singular (only B’s sentence) and so on.
If there is a student who
makes mistake, he/she throws the ball to the teacher then the T throws the ball
to another student. The student who makes mistake mustn't sit down until
his/her friend throws the ball to him/her again and he/she says the sentence
correctly.
Ps: All students must listen
carefully because they’re only allowed to change the sentence once. They can’t repeat
their sentences eventhough they realize that the sentence is wrong and they
repeat it directly after the first sentence (only accept the first sentence).
For example : A says “ I eat
lunch” but B says “ He eat lunch” or “He eat lunch...eh..He eats lunch”. B’s
first sentence is wrong, so B throws the ball to the T and B mustn’t sit
down. Then the T throws the ball to C.
