Thanks for your info.
I would give Junior-high school students some sort of handout to base their studies on. Make the handout fun and straight forward to complete.
Here's what I would do:
- Create a handout with 5 questions starting with "which". Make the questions a little challenging. Sample questions would be:
- Which person in the picture looks the most relaxed? Why?
- Which childhood character did you most want to be?
- Which language would you like to be fluent in? Russian or Spanish? Explain your answer.
- and so on... - Next, leave about 3 blank lines where students are to write their own "which" sentences.
- Once all students have completed the handout, inform them that they have 10 minutes to stand-up, and mix with other students to find the answers to those "which" questions they wrote in the step above. This gives them practices at speaking with a time limit. Tell them not to focus on grammar or correctness, but instead communication.
In step 3 above, give each student a number, and tell them to find a partner with another odd or even number. Eg: All even numbered students should find even numbered pairs. This should be a fun exercise!
Let me know how it goes.
