Help with a tittle for a teaching unit!
|
Hi there!
I �m planning a teaching unit on old toys, old games and things our grandparents used to do for entertainment. I �m going to work with the sound /oi/ and I �m looking for a tittle, but not something like just "Old times" and the like. I had thought "Old toys, old joys", but I don �t know how it sounds for native speakers, is the plural of �joy � right in this context? I also though �Join the old joys �. Do you like these tittles or are they a bit �stupid �? Do they sound right in English? Thanks a million. |

How about "The joys of old toys?" There are lots of phrases starting "the joys of..." in English so it doesn �t sound strange. You could even go for "The joys of loyal old toys" if you want to emphasis the "oi" sound. |

Thank you very much!! I �m still thinking. "The joys of old toys" seems a good choice. |

I like "old toys, old joys" a lot! It �s very catchy. A title or headline doesn �t have to be a formal sentence in everyday usage. In advertising, that might be described as a very �punchy � line, Ana. Cheers, AB |

Nice titles, if it is possible could you share the activities or readings you are going to develop. TIA |

Thank you too, alien boy! With a little help of someone else, I �ve decide to finally choose "Old toys, old joys". Angelgaby, of course I �ll try to share my work! Although lately I �m having problems with the layout of my worksheets because I usually work in Macintosh. Anyway, I �ll do a word version when I have time!
