              1  Sequence of Events

              Hand them out properly.
          3   Tell students to read the situations on the cards and then ask them to write a paragraph in which they order the
              events using the words when, as, while, by the time, after, before, first, next, finally. Also, tell them that they are free
              to add extra parts to their situations.
          4   Let each group talk about their actions.
          5   The group/groups that speak with the fewest mistakes wins/win the game.





              2  How We Became Famous

          This activity enables students to narrate a past event or experience. It also helps students build confidence in speaking
          and writing while increasing their creativity. It is a good activity to keep your students motivated.

          Materials and Preparation

          Use the vocabulary cards on page 160. There are numbered words from 1 to 60.

          Procedure


          1   Have students make groups of five.
          2   Ask each group to choose 10 numbers between 1 and 60. Tell the words they have chosen and make sure they jot
              them down.
          3   Have each group think a way to become famous somehow related to the words they have. Give them some time to
              think up their stories. Tell them they should take notes to make up a story of being famous using the words they have
              chosen.
          4   Make sure they use all the keywords they have chosen and tell their story in the past tense.
          5   Have each group read their stories to the others. Encourage them to choose the most interesting/funny story of
              becoming famous.
