Tip #6: Important
Years
Purpose: To practice saying years. For higher-level learners, practice asking questions and work with simple past tense.
Preparation Time: none
Materials: paper or white
board
Preparation:
Write four important years in your life.
Procedure:
- Tell learners that important events in
your life happened in each of these years. Their task is to find out
what the events were. Higher-level learners can do this by asking
questions, e.g., "Were you born in 1959?" Lower-level learners may give
one-word guesses, but also must tell you the year to which they are
referring.
- After you have modeled the activity, the learners should write down dates for themselves and do the activity. If you have more than five learners, you may want to break them up into pairs or small groups.
