| Resource Information | |
|---|---|
| Level | Beginner |
| Age | This course is for 12-13 year olds, but of course any age is OK if the level is right. |
| Number of Players | I have not included ideas for speaking games in this lesson. Just a comic to read and a work sheet to practice writing. |
| Resources |
Worksheets - pdf Comic - pdf. Students (and teachers) can read this comic online here. |
| Time | It depends on the ability of your class. My classes took about 50 minutes to do these. |
| Advantages | Students like to read the comics. |
| Disadvantages | Some students in my classes found the new language a bit tough. Irregular verbs are especially difficult to remember. If your class is very low, they may have trouble understanding the comic. |
Game Preparation
- Using the comic, read the story with the class and check understanding of meaning.
- Hand out the writing worksheets, explain using the example, set the task and help students along the way who need help.
- That's it for this lesson. I'll try to add some resources for speaking practice at a later date.
Broken is beautiful too.
