Hi Leslie,
What about some simple dictations ? prepared or not according to your students � level.
Than you can start a story and make them go on for a sentence or two, that will allow to speak a coherent story you will write on the blackboard sentence after sentence.
You can choose a theme with them - for example the creation of a youth gang in the school - and discuss about this : who will be the singer ? and why ? who will be the guitar player ? will they write their own songs ? ... all that to work on suggestions.
Than you can choose some pictures and make tham a MCQ about 4 possible answers for each.
1) The singer is playing the violin
2) the singer is singing in front of a micro
3) the singer is only playing the guitar
4) the singer is playing the guitar and singing.
Good answer : 4.
You can make them work in small groups and prepare a short summary on a chosen theme. Each group will introduce a part of their summary and will answer their friends � questions after the summary. (about vocabulary or asking for more details).
hope this could help and give you a start for more ideas.
