POST-LESSON TASK 4: CORRECT THE MISTAKE
AIM: To review topic language, and to review spelling and punctuation

MATERIALS: Board, words or sentences with errors from pupils’ written work, notebooks

1. During the lesson, identify 4 or 5 words or sentences with mistakes that pupils made in a
Writing or a Speaking task. These should be common mistakes made by more than one
pupil which are related to the learning focus of the lesson (or previous lessons) and/or
be correctable by pupils.
2. Write the sentences on the board (with the mistake).
3. Ask pupils to form groups or pairs to identify the errors and to correct them.
4. Elicit answers with the whole class.
5. Ask pupils – a different pupil for each mistake – to come up to the board to write the
corrected versions.

POST-LESSON TASK 5: WHISPER AND WRITE*
AIM: To review topic language and spelling

MATERIAL: Board

1. Draw 4 columns on the board.
2. Divide the class into 4 teams. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board.
3. Give each pupil at the front of the line some chalk or a board pen.
4. Go to the back of the line and ask the 4 pupils at the back of each line to come to you.
Whisper a topic word, phrase or short sentence (e.g. Nahla loves camping.) or
instruction (e.g. Draw a huge fish and a tiny elephant).
5. The pupils go back to their lines and whisper the topic language to the next pupil in the
line. This continues until it reaches the pupil at the front of the line, who writes down the
language, or follows the instruction.
6. Each team gets 1 point for a correct answer. The team who finishes first gets an extra
point if their answer is correct. Depending on the focus of your lesson, you can insist on
accurate spelling, or allow some mistakes. Alternatively, you can avoid giving points for
these kinds of game but offer praise yourself and from the other pupils when teams do
well.
7. Continue with new language or instructions. Change the order in the line each time (e.g.
pupil at the front goes to the back, so that there is a new pupil at the front).
