Materials and Preparation

Cut up each sentence on the sheet on page 85 and prepare strips.

Procedure

1 Divide the class into groups of three.
2 Distribute four sentence strips for each group randomly.
3 Write the first sentence of the story on the board:
“On Sunday, I bought a lottery ticket at the city center.”
4 Tell each group to put the story into correct order.
5 Each group will try to guess the next sentence from the strips they have.
6 As long as the groups guess correctly, write the sentences in the correct order on the board.
7 The group that guesses the most sentences in the story correctly wins the game.

11 In My Experience…

This activity aims at talking about personal experiences in the past. It also encourages students to improve their speaking
and reading skills.

Materials and Preparation

Divide the class into groups of two to four students. Photocopy one set of cards on page 86 for each group. Cut up each
part separately. Keep the bold cards in the B column and deliver the cards in the A and C columns to each group.

Procedure

1 Tell students you have the B columns, but they have to match the A and C columns in order to create shorter relevant
phrases.
2 Then give them the middle cards to verify their responses.
3 Evaluate the answers with class, or give them uncut copies of the cards to use for checking their answers.
4 Different matches are possible, but there can only be one way to connect them all.
