Any good ideas out there?

Hi all:)
My class tomorrow is on sentence structure - the class is very small (8 students) and they are a blend of Advanced/Upper Intermediate - various nationalities and ages.
Has anyone got any fun and creative activities for learning the simple, compound and complex sentence strucutures. The WS available here are a bit graded for them - they �re a controversial bunch:)
Thanks in advance!

You could try cutting up a few interesting contemporary news items. Make sure the articles are well written. Cut the sentences up & jumble them around. Form your students into pairs. Get each pair to organise a sentence properly, collect another sentence & then put the article in the correct order!
After that you may want to discuss why things were right, wrong or if a better structure could have been made. Better yet, get the opposing teams to judge & you advise them on whether they are right.
Just an idea...
Goodnight from Japan!

Hi!
I don �t know if an exercise on scrambled sentences will help you.
For instance you can ask four or five students to come in front of their friends holding cards -where you write parts of sentence-but they should stand in disorder, and ask the other students to put them in the correct order in order to form a coherent sentence.
I hope this helps you
