-a really cute PPT introducing Either/Neither based on occupations and equipment, using the sentence structures:
'Neither a doctor nor a farmer uses a cash register.', 'A doctor doesn't use a cash register, A farmer doesn't use a cash register, either.' and 'Either a doctor or a nurse can use a stethoscope.'
-Two worksheets, one focusing solely on the either/neither sentences, and the other which also practises the actual job vocab and related equipment, as well as touching on too/also.
This is the third in my series of English competitions for English speakers. Public speaking/ English competition to be used in school-wide events or within the class for confidence building.
These competition PPTs are elegant looking PPTs guiding the organisers and students through a three round competition. First, ten competitors describe a picture based on the number they choose.
8 competitors go to round two, where they take part in a pair role play based around a real life situation.
3 competitors go to the final round, in which they are given a question to talk about.
The format allows students to use a range of speaking skills, pushing them towards fluency and accuracy through practice.
