Activities
2. Introduce grammar using the “Hair Salons So, Very & Too” worksheet. Discuss
what each of these words mean and have students read the examples that are
given for each one. Students will then read the sentences that follow and fill in the
blanks with so, very, or too. Check for accuracy as a class.
3. Give each student the sheet entitled “Hair Services- How to Say It.” This sheet
teaches the grammar point have + object + past participle. It is used to express the
desire to have something done by someone else. Go over the examples with the
students and answer any questions they may have. Let them practice this
grammar point by filling in the blanks in each sentence at the bottom of the sheet.
When the students have completed, call on individuals to read the sentence and
supply the missing answer.
5. Repeat #4 with the Hair Salons and Barber Shops Dialogue 2 & 3.
