any ideas on helping students remember ´who ´ and ´how ´?
|

Tomorrow I will be teaching feelings to my beginner 8-year-olds, and I will be using: How are you? and Who is happy/tired etc.?
Suddenly I wondered how on Earth my students (esp. the struggling ones) are going to remember which word is what, since ´who ´ and ´how ´ look so similar. Maybe anyone of you has a brilliant tip to help them remember? (their mother tongue is Hebrew) I have seen for example cards where the word was ´drawn ´ in such a way that it shows the meaning, but I couldn ´t think of any way to do this with these two words. Any tip will be greatly appreciated! |

Hi dear Marion, I have invented a funny story about these 2 words. Here it is : There is a club, the WH- words club. One day How walked in but it was so drunk that the door shut on the W and became the tail of the word because it turned while the door was shut. HOW is it possible to be so drunk not to have seen WHO shut the door ? /
Do you like it ? May it be of some help ?
Hugs.
Maryse.

I didn ´t quite understand the story but maybe inventing a story about the letters is a good idea, I ´ll try to come up with one as well. Thanks in any case  |
