Normally when I practice 'Does Questions' I and the English teacher usually introduce a family member or a friend and have the students interview us about that person, taking turns to come up and ask us questions. Then if time allows they might write about that person in the third person. Later they do an activity where they present about somebody and other students ask them questions. I think this is one of the best ways to teach this point because students are very curious about us and our lives and if we are comfortable enough to share they will be more comfortable to share.
This however is more mechanical in nature. I'm using it this year because I have some teaching partners who aren't comfortable sharing and honestly at this point in the year I'm not super comfortable sharing personal details in their classes either. Every work relationship is different and fortunately there are alternate ways of doing things.
That being said.
PART ONE 'Does...Quiz'
This is meant as a group activity although it could be done quickly as a full class review or introduction. Show the first slide that has the key words and then click forward once to see a quick glance at a hint picture. If its a group activity a member from each group will rush up to ask the question and if correct the teacher they go to should answer 'Yes, he is' or 'No, he isn't'. Then you can reward points based on speed (Fastest groups to ask get more points) or point cards (I usually use the Ace, two, three, four and a joker for some random result). After all teams have asked go to the answer check then move onto the next question. If they missed it you can click backwards and then forwards to show the quick pic again.
PART TWO 'Survivor Game'
This is a simplified version of Battleship that was introduced to me by a teacher many years ago. I believe he found it in an old ALT handbook. I like it more than battleship since it only requires one grid per player. Fill in the grid with 10 circles. You can demonstrate that on the screen with the Japanese teacher demonstrating it on a large copy of the worksheet. Both should be keeping their circles secret. This is a pair activity. If you are using the screen click the start button after you've clicked 10 circles. Do rock scissors paper and the winner goes first. After that you just alternate. Pick the square you want to ask and combine the left column with the right column, for example 'Does Tom / play games?'. If your opponent has a circle in that spot they answer 'Yes, he does' and if not 'No, he doesn't' . Regardless both players cross out that square on their sheet. Then they switch roles, the other student asks the question and the first student answers and again both cross out that square. Continue like this for a few minutes (2 or 3 usually) and then stop. Count how many circles they have left. The student with the most surviving circles is the winner.
PART THREE 'Writing'
Look at the picture and use it to think of a question and an answer. I have the students do this individually and reward stickers based on how many they complete. I set the target based on how much time is left.
I really like the simplified battleship. It always takes so much time for me to explain it the regular way...
Yeah, I was happy when that teacher introduced me to it. Saves on worksheet space too since you don't need double grids.
I've been trying the survivor game this week and my JTE had a suggestion I thought was worth sharing. She suggested that when students find one of their partner's circles, they can mark it with a new circle. We had a lot of students doing it that way anyway even though that's not how we explained the game >.> So we ended up with some kids having like 13 circles in the end and the whole scoring system was off :P
Okay, I've never had that issue although I've certainly had some kids not getting how to play because they can't pay attention for more than a few seconds. I'd think adding circles rather than Xs would make it more confusing. You could try different color pens when they play. In the past we often used different color pens for games like battleship and generally helped a bit.
