POST-LESSON TASK 5: REMEMBER IT, SAY IT

AIM: to practise the pronunciation of key language from the lesson

MATERIALS: Listening or reading text, board

1. After pupils have worked on a listening or reading text, choose a key sentence or sentences you
want the pupils to focus on.
2. Make sure that pupils understand the meaning of the sentence(s).
3. Say the sentence twice and ask the pupils to repeat it.
4. Repeat step 3 if you have chosen more than 1 sentence.
5. Extend the activity by writing a sentence on the board. Rub out a word and replace it with a line. Ask
the pupils to say the complete sentence: they have to remember the missing word too.
6. Continue rubbing out words until there are only lines on the board and invite pupils to say the full
sentence.

NB: You could adapt this to focus on vocabulary from the lesson by replacing the sentences with a list of
words that pupils remember (the number of words depending on their familiarity, the age and the
proficiency of the pupils). Start with a small number (2 or 3) and work upwards.

POST-LESSON TASK 6: 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 (e.g. coconut) or instruction (e.g. Draw a triangle and a square).
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 word, or follows the
instruction.
6. Each team gets one point for a correct answer. The team who finishes first gets an extra point if their
answer is correct.
7. Continue with new words 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).
