Teachers’ notes

Show students pictures on slides 2 to 23. Tell them these are typical mistakes that upper intermediate and above students make. Ask them to try and identify the errors. You can go through them as a class or ask them to work together in pairs and make a list. The answers are on slide 25.

Show

sts

picture on slide 24. Tell them that they are going to read a story about this family. Can they predict what it will be about?

(The following activity is adapted from Mess it Up, an activity in 52 by Lindsay

Clandfield

and Luke

Meddings

.)

Put students in groups of 5, give them the following text divided into 75 words chunks and ask them to read their section. They should not show it to the other members of their

group:

.

Ask them to share what they've learnt from their paragraph. Together they should be able to piece it together. Make sure that they

summarise

the text and do not read from it, or show it to each other

.

Teachers’ notes

Check the story together as a class. By the way, I chose this story as it is an opportunity to teach the students some critical thinking and analytical skills, so try to embrace that.

Ask

them to rewrite the text on piece of paper but ask them to add mistakes into it. Ask them to imagine the kind of mistakes they might have made themselves and include them. Ask them to - mix up verb

forms, change

some

spellings, swap

words around etc.

Ask

students to swap texts around, and correct what they think is wrong. They can then check with the student who made the changes and see if they were right and what they missed.
