Something that has worked for me is to use animals photos and action verbs, then, on one side of the blackboard I draw a tick, and a cross on the other side. First I model using one animal e.g. The dog can run  , but the dog can�t fly  . You can also use a drawing of somebody with a leg injured or talk about yourself
Since they are basic students you need to act out a lot for they to understand
There are also many activities here that you can use. Just search "can-cant" ws.
Hope this helps.

I agree - I also use animals often - it �s fun and logical for kids. Flashcards help, but also mime. They also love drawing their own robots and then writing a description next to it of 3-5 things it can do and 3-5 things it can �t - my sts made great posters of it and were very creative. We had robots who could speak French, but couldn �t drink water, etc. |
