Activity 2a Work in groups of 4. Make sentences.
STEP 1:Ask the pupils to look at the picture or watch the DVD: children are holding the cards with words which make a sentence: We watchedacartoon.
STEP 2: Say they will work in groups and make similar sentences. Distribute envelopes with word cards which can make a sentence (write each word of the sentences below on separate cards and put them in separate envelopes). Say they have five minutes to make their sentence.
The sentences, as separate word cards, to be put in the envelopes:
You mopped the floor. We cleaned our garden. They finished the project. My friends played chess. He matched the pictures. She washedthe dishes. We watched a cartoon.
STEP 3:When the groups are ready, they can stand in the order of the words in their sentences as in the picture.
Activity 2b Work in groups of 5. Make questions.
STEP 1:Prepare 4 cards with the words and stick the sentence on the board:
We
|
cleaned
|
our
|
classroom.
|
Ask the pupils to read the sentence in chorus.Then take out “ed”andchange the sentence to as follows and ask the pupils what they noticed.
Did
|
we
|
clean
|
our
|
classroom?
|
Establish that the verb lost the ending “ed”, and the sentence became a question.
STEP 2: Now ask the groups to make questions from their sentences. Give a card with “Did”to each group. Go round and help the groups if needed.
After 2-3 minutes ask the groups to show their questions. They should have:Didyou mop the floor? Did we clean our garden?Did they finish the project?Did my friends play chess?Did he match the pictures?Did she wash the dishes? Did we watch a cartoon?
