AB9. ACTIVITY 2

Complete and answer.

Focus pupils on the questions in Activity 2. Do the
questions first in open pairs. Pupil A asks a question. Pupil
B answers. Pupil C asks a question. Pupil D answers, etc.
Listen for and correct pupils’ answers, making sure they
give complete sentences for each one, e.g. My favourite
comic’s... For questions 1 – 6, pupils write the answers
about themselves in their books. Pupils can use the picture
prompts for ideas, but they should write their personal
responses to the questions. They complete question 6 with
their own category (e.g. computer game, TV programme,
book), and answer for themselves. For questions 7 and 8,
pupils can look back at the story in the PB to answer the
questions. Monitor pupils as they are working and help or
prompt when necessary. If time, volunteers can ask their
completed question 6 to a classmate of their choice.

Key: Pupils’ own answers for questions
