Me, Tarzan!  -  May 15, 2022

Lesson Collection #2 - Lesson 5
Time: 40+| Level: JHS~Adult| Mode: Pair / Small Group Activity

Remember the old Tarzan movies? Tarzan, the Ape Man, was raised in the jungles of Africa by apes. He never really learned how to speak English very well, although he could converse with the animals.

One day he met Jane, a beautiful British lass, and they fell madly in love (and eventually marry). But even in this romantic story, Tarzan cannot use pronouns very well, e.g.: Me Tarzan.

He's terrible with verbs, often simply omitting them altogether She Jane, and forget about articles, prepositions, indefinite pronouns, plural nouns, relative clauses, well... just about every other element of correct English.

These worksheets have the students assisting Tarzan with the captions in his photo album - and the students help Tarzan with his English!

Beginning with Me Tarzan, students write something like: I am Tarzan or My name is Tarzan in the photo album. This is a marvelous lesson for students to review all of the basic structures of simple English grammar, and they will have a lot of fun doing it, too!

Higher ability students could be encouraged to do a little research about the history of Tarzan then write the captions using relative clauses. For example: This is Tarzan, the man whose parents were killed when he was a baby and who was raised by apes in Africa.


What Makes Our Lessons Different?

Teachers Save Time

Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.

Students Learn by Doing

Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.

Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing

Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.

Fun for Teachers & Students

We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.
