| Resource Information | |
|---|---|
| Level | Beginner |
| Age | This course is for 13-14 year olds, but of course any age is OK if the level is right. |
| Number of Players | 3 students per skit |
| Resources | Comic - pdf Students (and teachers) can read this
comic online here. Worksheet |
| Time | It depends of the size of your class. A class of 30 students will take about 40-50 minutes |
| Advantages | Stories are always very useful for putting language in context. This comic reviews some language. The worksheet gives students the opportunity to create their own scenario and dialogue. |
| Disadvantages | Not all students like to perform in front of the class. I find though that the more often they do it, the less confronting it becomes. |

Preparation
- Practice the language by reading the short comic with the class together. Make sure they understand the meaning and the main grammar points and read it together again.
- Form students into groups of 3
- Using the worksheet, tell students they have to rewrite the comic. Suggest possible options for their skit (I like to use 1 set of location flashcards and 1 set of activity flashcards) and practice as a class.
Writing and Skits
- Assist students as they are writing their scripts and practicing.
- Perform short skits.
Have fun...
