REVIEW PREVIEWS UNIT







It is very important to review old sessions, and this is a good example of a new lesson.

Warm up: The participants were asked to review the words "on holiday" topic.

e.g: cruise holiday, safari, hiking, hotel, beach, seaside, camping, caravan, etc...

Link the activity to a board game, which we are going to call CATEGORIES. It means that you can take the idea and work around the topic you have for the session.

A board card is prepared with the categories to be created:

e.g: holiday, furniture, job, fruit, colours, classroom objects, etc;

Option 1: The participants can fill the CATEGORIES, card A, with their own ideas and knowledge;

Option 2: The tutor prepares another card, B, with all the words related to the categories required in card A, listed but mixed. The participants are supposed to pick the right choice to a selected category.

e.g: Card A
Category - Holiday

Card B
Safari, cruise, beach, hotel, seaside, caravan, camping, etc...

Suggestion: When the card A is filled up, the tutor can ask the participants to add one more word for each category.

e.g: excursion

Time: about 20-25 min.
Level: Beginners
Objective: vocabulary acquisition
Skills: speaking, writing, reading, and listening
