EF2 UNIT 8

Peer-dictation with feedback words.

Preparation: Make copies of the Feedback words below. Everyone needs one so you’ll need one copy of the list for each eight students. Cut them apart.

Procedure: Give each student one word. They copy it onto the inside front cover of their book. They stand and circulate. They tell others their word. Everyone writes the words in their book. People collect all eight words. Then they work in groups of 2-4. They tell a personal story (consider have them recycle the A special time story they told/drew a picture for on page 72). Partners listen. They try to use all eight of these “feedback” words. Each time they use one they make a check (√) next to the word. (Consider having them continue using this list during other fluency activities to get used to giving this type of feedback [the technical term is backchanneling]).
