PROJECT Writing a blog
Ask the class to read the instructions in bold and ask ‘What do you need to do for this project?’ Either for homework, or during classtime, ask the students to go online and find at least two blogs that a) they find interesting and b) they like the design of. Organise the students into small groups (maximum four students) and ask them to talk about the blogs they found which they like and why. Encourage the groups to choose a blog topic and also to think about the design. Remind them that they need to reach an agreement and encourage them to use the useful language in Life skills page 32. Next, encourage them to write two short blog posts (the group could divide into pairs, with each pair writing a post each). Then, ask them to decide together how they will present their two posts. Reorganise the students so that they are working with students in other groups. Encourage them to share their ideas, give feedback and make suggestions for improvement.
COOLER Checking the blog for mistakes: A grammar auction
Choose ten sentences from the students’ blog posts; five with mistakes (spelling, punctuation, grammar, etc.) and five very good sentences. Write them on the board. Organise the students into small teams who decide which sentences are correct and also find and correct the mistakes in the incorrect ones. Next, tell each team you are going to ‘sell’ the sentences to the group who offers you the most points (or money if appropriate). Give each team 100 points (or €1,000). Hold a sentence auction where you ask each team to make a bid for each sentence; however, they should only bid for the correct sentences. The winner is the team with the most correct sentences. If there is a draw between teams, the team with the most points (or money) left is the winner. At the end of the activity, correct the mistakes in the incorrect sentences as a class. Point out that the sentences are from the class’s blog posts and encourage them to always check their work before they post anything on their blogs.
