"Tell Me About..." Conversation Questions
I like to organize my classes according to grammar, but the goal is to get my students DOING as much as possible instead of just filling out interminable worksheets.
At the beginning of class, especially with my younger kids, I like to give them time to ask each other questions... But I�m getting a little tired of "What�s your favorite ______?"...
