Conversation Activator Pair Work Cards For the Teacher The Pair Work Cards are designed to use with the “Conversation Activator” exercises at the end of Lessons 1 and 2 of each unit of the Student’s Book. Each conversation model is divided into two cards: one with Student A’s part and one with Student B’s part, with blank spaces in which each student can personalize his or her part. They are a great way to get students “out of the book” to more actively converse with each other. Because they cannot read what the other student is going to say, they have to listen more carefully. along with the note Within the Teacher’s Edition and Lesson Planner, the icon “Conversation Activator Pair Work Cards” indicates the suggested point of use for the pair work cards.

Teaching Ideas IDEA 1: Guided Conversation Cards Give pairs of students two corresponding pair work cards. Ask students to practice the conversation, providing their own words in the blank spaces. Then ask them to exchange cards and reverse roles.

 

 

IDEA 2: Logical Variations Have a competition in which pairs of students or small groups try to fill in the blank spaces with as many logical variations as possible. Allow time for students to read their

 

conversations out loud in class.

   

Example: Practice with a partner. Use your own words.
