Describing people: asking and answering questions to reveal a character’s identity

Disgrifiad

This video clip took place in the context of a lesson whereby learners were practicing sentences to describe people . In the clip the teacher created an electronic version of the board game ‘Guess Who?’ The game required the class to deduce a character’s identity by asking the opponent questions about the physical appearance of the character;for example;’is he wearing a hat?’ A AA learner had been selected to choose a character and the whole class were invited to ask the learner questions in relation to their character’s appearance. Using this information;the class had to cross out characters on the IWB which did not match the answers provided by the learner. The whole class had worksheets with example questions to help them use the correct sentence structures. Prior to this video clip;the teacher had modelled the activity by playing the role of the individual at the IWB.

[The teacher is using Smart software on a Promethean IWB.]
