Unit 6 - Listening Acivities

[rsukova]

Sometimes, I talk about some my interesting experience or about current event in class. Then the children can ask me questions.

Excellent, that's the best type of listening practice you can give them! And after you have told the story and the students have asked their questions you can do lots of other things with it. For example:
1. Put the students in small groups. Ask them to write a summary of the story.
2. Ask them to write a summary in 15 words only. Or 10 words.
3. Ask them to include two incorrect facts in the summary. Groups excange their summaries and try to identify the incorrect information.
4. In groups students prepare 5 or 6 true/false sentences about the story. They read their sentences to the whole class, and the others have to say if the sentences are true or false.
5. Ask students to write a series of comprehension questions about the story. Exchange them with another group and answer the questions.
And so on. Does anybody have any more ideas what you could do as a follow-up after listening to the teacher's story?
