As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the worksheet as many as the number of students and cuts
out the word cards.

Procedure
1 Divide the class into two groups as A and B.
2 Hand out the worksheet to each student. Assign each group member a number.
3 Have students read the text.
4 Then, pick a word on your list and invite the students of the number of that word from each group
to the board.
5 Remind students to have their worksheets with them.
6 Next, give the word cards to the students and have them guess the meaning of the unknown word
from the context in a minute using the choices provided. After that, they are expected to call out the
option that is closest in meaning to the word on the card and make a meaningful sentence using it.

scores a point for her/his team.
