Planning a Celebration

When preparing for a celebration, learners can contribute according to their talents, interests, or abilities. Teachers may do this activity near the end of the course. A celebration of their hard work and achievement enhances LESLLA learners' confidence in learning.

Procedure:


  1. The whole class think about the following questions:
    * Who are we going to invite?
    * What are we going to eat?
    * What are we going to do?
    * What are we going to bring?
    You may find page 84 of the blue Collaborations book (Huisenga & Weistein-Shr, 1996) useful.
  2. In small groups, learners think about what they are going to do. They may show, teach, cook, or do something. Have learners fill in a chart.
  3. Each group reports to the class what they are going to do. (Teaching points: Grammar "going to" & pronunciation gonna)
  4. Learners make a list of all the people in the class (including the teacher). Write down what each person is going to do.
