Activity

Famous Canadians and My Memories

A short quiz introducing the past tense of the be verb and also the when connection. A follow up writing activity.

NOTE

I haven't updated or used this activity in awhile. If you are going to use it you should take a good look first for dated cultural references and stuff that doesn't suit the new teacher strategies. If nothing else I hope these older materials will give you some ideas for your own materials.

A very short two choice quiz about famous Canadians. There are only four questions. This should be done in groups.

It is followed by a writing activity where the students pick a time from their life and write two sentences about it.

For example 'When I was in the second grade at my old school, I hated by teacher'

Then they draw a picture connected to the time and show the teacher. I reward stickers if they complete two or three rounds. This is solo work.

To make it more of a commmunication activity. When they come to read their sentences ask them questions.

A second version includes the survivor game. You can find the rules for that game here.
