Materials: 1) a computer/projector to show the PowerPoint
2) Prints of the handout
Aim: listening practice, "who"
Who is Dan's daughter? --> She is Hannah.
Who are Dan's children? --> They are Hannah and Ben.
- Hand out the handout.
- Use the PowerPoint to teach/review family-related vocabulary, which is also listed on the handout. Note: I have awesome JTEs who let me teach gender-neutral terms as well. This part starts on slide 20.
- Practice the English names on the family tree.
- Go over the example questions on the bottom of the sheet, and write "She is _. He is _. They are __." on the board so they know how to answer.
- After practicing a couple of questions, break the students into lunch groups.
- One person from each lunch group stands up. Only they can answer the question. Note: I do it like this because otherwise so many hands go in the air at once, and I have no idea who raised their hand first.
- Whoever raises their hand first can try and answer. If they get your question right, their team gets a point.
A possible twist that I haven't tried yet: Instead of giving them the question, give them the answer, and they have to come up with a question. This could be good with whiteboards to practice writing.
