Who’s? Are you …? Is (this) ? Demonstrative pronoun: this Possessive ’s Jigsaw activity Vocabulary With a small class this can be done as whole class activity using one scene from the videoscript With a large class it can be done as a group activity using several scenes Enlarge and copy the relevant scene (or scenes), then cut up the conversation, removing the names of the speakers Give each student (in the class or group) a piece of paper with a sentence on it As a class or in groups, the students must reconstruct the conversation and put the name of the speaker beside each sentence Titles: Mr (Walker) Greetings: Hi! Hello Bye! See you later! Nice to meet you Family: mum, mother, dad, gran, sister Numbers: – 50 Start/End the dialogue Once the students have finished watching a scene, give them either the first or the second half of the conversation They must then try to reconstruct the missing half Roleplay Ask the students to act out part or all of one scene from memory This gives them an extra opportunity to work with the language and gain extra pronunciation practice too Expressions Wow!
