Survey #2 - March 18, 2019
Lesson Collection #3 - Lesson 22b
This lesson offers a stimulus for pairs of students to ask each other questions and to talk about themselves. Each worksheet contains 10 questions which doubles (or triples) when students ask additional follow-up questions. Some of the questions printed on the worksheet include:
Tell me about something you did that was stupid.
Tell me three kinds of food you don’t like. Is there a reason?
If a genie gave you three wishes, what would they be?
Tell me about one birthday you will never forget.
The goal of the lesson is for students to dig for details by asking lots of follow-up questions. There are spaces given on the printouts for students to keep notes of their partner's answers.
If time permits, students then change partners. Now they ask their new partner for the answers given by their previous partner. This requires students to shift from first person to third. (You changes to he or she.) They answer the questions according to the notes they kept during the first interview.
Although this is a simple exercise, students become very involved in asking each other questions and having the chance to talk about themselves in English.

Survey #3 (Lesson Collection Set #3 - Lesson 22c).
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.
