RE: If-clauses lesson advice
|
Hey,
I need your advice. I �m going to revise the different if-clauses (type 0 till type 3) with my students (level is upper-intermediate to advanced).
At first, I �m going to give them a little listening exercise so that they start using the different if-clauses without knowing it. Then, I thought about showing them a little power point presentation about if-clauses where they have to fill in the verbs in the right tense in the different conditionals + they have to explain why this conditional ist used.
Then I thought about giving them different exercises. My tutor (I �m on a training course) has told me that I should get some movement into the classroom (e.g. the students shall move around). So do you know a few short! (approx. 5 minutes) exercises that involve movement and in which the students can practice if-clauses?
Many thanks for your help.

i don �t know anything that involves movement, but i sometimes do an exercise called � � if i won the lotery... " have you played it?
every student has to complete the phrase said before
eg. if i won the lotery, i would buy a house. if i had a house, i would ...
you can use it for the other conditionals too. my students enjoy it, because it �s amusing. you could put them to move around the class and choose different students to continue the sentence.  i hope it �s useful to you. tell me what you think of it and how the class went if you decide to use it |

You can combine Dyana �s idea with a survey. Students could circulate aroud the classroom and find something like the most similar answer, or the oddest answer.
Remember to ask them "why" they choose a certain answer and not another one.
I hope that helps.
