teaching Tag questions
|
Hello, Dear Teachers.
Most of times I try to go to classes with 2 or 3 ways of teaching a topic in mind. But Tag Questions are puzzling me. I only can think of grammatical ways of teaching it. I need communicative ways of teaching Tag Questions. Can you give different ideas of how to teach tag questions in a nice way?
Thanks

Hello dear...
Well, when I have to teach Tag Questions I first "role play" with students a "Game Show". I say a sentence and give options and they have to show me the corresponding letter of the option they think is the correct. Example:
Keanu Reeves is:
a) American; b) Lebanese; c) Turkish.
After the "Game Show" stuff, I try to remember their answers like: "Keanu Reeves is Lebanese, isn�t he?", and the students answer "yes" or "no". Then I write some examples on the board (from the previous exercise or not) but let them give the tag questions.
On this way it �s possible to start checking a little bit of grammar, as you told.
I hope I �ve helped you. Any problem tell me.
XOXO

Hello
You can use an activity card.This activity is good for ss because they pay attention to complete the sentences without writing it is a pair or group work activity....
SS make questions by connecting sentence halves I hope this activity help you in your classes ok?
