A teachers guide to activities
 
Hi everyone,
 
I �m interested in whether anyone has a guide for what kind of activities you can do with reading or vocabulary, ect.  I don �t mean the 5 min. before class ends activities, but a list of reading, then scan for information, take the words apart and make a puzzle, something along those lines. If it doesn �t exist i think we should pool together, but you �re all so amazing i �m sure someone has already created it or knows where I can locate one.
 
Thanks in advance!

What I generally do is write or find a passage for reading.  I then underline necessary vocabulary within the text for the students to learn and translate into their first language.  I also prepare a grammar outline on what the students have learned.  It is generally a gap fill expercise or a tense exercise.  I also prepare a dialogue containing the grammar that has been taught and have the students read it aloud and then read it in pairs.
I also include a survey or questions for conversation and a puzzle with the vocabulary that has been learned.
These exercises are usually six or seven pages and take up a good amount of time.
 
I have already submitted a couple of these worksheets, but if you like I will send them to you, as we are not to advertise our own worksheets.
