Activity
Put the above sentences on a powerpoint slide and ask students, in pairs, to make a point about a text in four of the six ways. They choose which ones to do but highlight the ones which refer to particular exam questions. For instance, some exam questions might directly ask students to comment on language features or the ‘writer’s thoughts and feelings’.
‘Revising’ Key Terms: Richard and Judy key term test
Teachers need to be careful not to spend too much time teaching key terms. Students will know many of these and it should be seen as a revision activity, while bearing in mind some with need explanation.
Taboo You say we pay (Richard and Judy TV programme)
You have to describe some of these terms to your partner without saying the actual name of the term as it appears on the list below. The aim is that your partner identifies as many terms as possible in three minutes.
If your partner is really stuck he/she can ‘pass’ and come back to a term later. You can describe these terms in any order you wish. Each time your partner gets a correct answer, give them a point. When you have each done your ‘three minutes’, you can compare who got the most answers.
