POST-LESSON TASK 11: WHAT ABOUT ME?

AIM: to review topic content or vocabulary and encourage pupils to make links between English
learning and their own lives

MATERIALS: Board and/or pictures, exercise books

1. Choose some key words or language from the lesson. Write the words on the board and ask pupils
to read them or use pictures to elicit them and put the pictures on the board.
2. Look at the board and act as if you are thinking carefully. Say: “What about me?’ Choose and
circle one of the pictures/words. This should be something you can connect to your personal life
(e.g. a cat – you like cats or you have a cat).
3. Elicit from pupils why you have circled the cat.
4. Ask pupils to do the same in pairs by telling the word to their partner, who should try to guess what
the connection is.

POST-LESSON TASK 12: WHAT ABOUT YOU?

AIM: to reflect on and share learning

MATERIALS: Exercise book for more literate pupils, or none

1. Act as if you are thinking and say “What can you remember?” Give a key word from the lesson.
Write it on the board (for more literate pupils).
2. Nominate a more proficient pupil and ask them “What about you? What can you remember?” Elicit
an answer and write it on the board. Then give another example; then elicit another example. You
could include examples of other language structures too, depending on your lesson focus and
level of pupils.
3. Ask pupils to work in pairs to share what they remember from the lesson. More literate pupils can
write in their notebooks or it can be done as a speaking activity. This would also be a little quicker.
Set either a time limit or a number of words limit.
4. An adaptation of this would be suitable to review different sounds that have been taught or
reviewed by asking pupils to remember words with a particular sound. This could be from the
lesson or could be from the whole year so far.
