Put questions for listening text up on the board. Instruction: "I'm going to tell you about my day off yesterday. Please listen and answer the following questions." ICQ: Where are the questions you are going to answer? --up on the white board (point to them). Read the text at a normal pace. Ask them if they need to hear it again. Read again if necessary. Check answers in PW first. Then check answers WC.

Chest HO. Instruction: "Let's pretend you had the day off yesterday. No work or school, ok?" Answer these questions about yourself- what did you do on your pretend day off yesterday?" Model an example if needed and refer to the reading text. ICQ: Are you working with a partner? -no, alone. ICQ2: Who are the questions about? -me ICQ3: Is this pretend or real? -pretend Let sts answer questions on HO. Then PW (new partner) to talk about their pretend day off.

Use the WB if needed.

Post text outside. PW (new pairs). Instruction: "I have posted a text outside. One partner is going to run and read the text and come back inside and tell their partner. Your partner will write down what you say. At the end, what you write down should match the text posted outside." You will need to walk with them. Make sure they know they can just remember 2 words if that's all they can remember. But they should do 2 words at a time until they complete the activity. ICQ: Who will run outside and get the message? --pick a partner. ICQ2: What are the people inside doing? --writing down the message ICQ3: Do you want the other team to hear? --no, be quiet when you tell! Monitor this activity VERY closely as they are sure to be confused. Have them put their cell phones on the table so they don't take a picture of the text outside and cheat. :) CQ: Let them check their written message to the text outside. "What does your boss tell you to do?" --do something fun and relax!"
