This printable booklet will be useful for students who are beginning to write simple sentences. Writing answers to the simple questions in sentences will help with word order and sentence construction. Passages are written mainly in simple sentences, so many answers can be lifted straight from the passages. This will help students to achieve success, gain a sense of achievement and build confidence in writing their own sentences in English. This is most suited to students at the Emergent/Consolidating stage of acquiring English as a certain level of comprehension is required. If students are literate in their home language, use of a home language dictionary could be used to aid comprehension of any unknown vocabulary. This booklet is also suitable for use with native English speakers. The Wild Animals booklet has 10 pages containing information about the following animals:- elephants, lions, camels, giraffes, tigers, zebras, kangaroos, hippos, rhinos and pandas These pages can be used over and over again. After the information sheets, there are 10 worksheets. Each worksheet has 5 questions about one of the animals. Students could either write the answers on the worksheets or write the answers in a jotter/ notebook. If students are writing on the worksheets, a booklet could be produced using the worksheets and one of the two front covers available at the end of the booklet. Because, the passages provide factual information, they are suitable for use with a wide age range. This booklet is copyright. You may photocopy it only within and for use in the institution which has purchased it. No other photocopying is permitted without the permission of the author and copyright holder.

Are your students needing to improve their English word order? These worksheets and the suggested follow up activity will help with both written and spoken sentence construction. The 17 worksheets provide illustrations with words provided, in a jumbled order, for making sentences to describe the pictures. Students have the opportunity to rearrange the words and write a sentence describing what is happening in each picture. An additional benefit to completing this task, is that English vocabulary can also be increased because of the use of the visuals depicting the activities to be described. There are 68 sentences to be completed and an optional front cover for use if the worksheets are to be made into booklets. Star Wars characters have been added to make the worksheets more appealing. A sheet for recording students’ completion of the sheets is included. Answer sheets are also provided, giving the option for peer correction. There are verb reference pages at the beginning ( in colour) for use if vocabulary is unknown. All worksheets are in black only, so printing costs are kept to a minimum. If access to photocopying facilities is limited or unavailable, the answers to the questions could be written in a note book, enabling the worksheets to be used over and over again with different students. When the worksheets are completed, a suggested follow up activity could be one student miming a selected action from the illustrations in the worksheets. The other students then try to guess what the student is doing. Depending on the levels of language acquisition, students can use the models of the ordered sentences to express verbally in a sentence what is being mimed, or just provide a one word answer. The student providing the correct answer then gets a chance to choose a different activity and mime to the class. This is usually a fun activity enjoyed by all.

Verbs - Present, Past and Past Participle

Game (2-6 players) The aim of the game is to get the most sets of verbs. (A set consists of the present, past and past participle of one verb.) Mix the cards. Each player is dealt 9 cards and the remaining cards are placed face down in a pile in the middle of the table. The top card is turned face up and placed beside the pile on the table. Players look at their cards. If they have a set, they place that on the table. (This counts as 1 point) The player(s) then draw cards to make up 9 cards in their hands. The person on the left of the dealer starts, he/she can either pick the card that is turned over or take the top card. He/She then has to discard, so that he he/she always has 9 cards. If the player can make a set of 3 cards, he places the set on the table.(As soon as a player thinks he/she has a set, it is suggested that players show their sets to other players to ensure that the set has the correct verbs.) He/she must then draw cards from the pile to maintain 9 in his/her hand. Continue play until the pack on the table has been used. Then turn the pack over and start using the cards again. When all cards have been used from the table, players then take turns to select an unseen card from the player on their left. This continues until all sets of verbs has been made. The winner is the player with the most points or sets.

Alphabet Boats Match Lower Case with Upper case

(0)
Alphabets boats is a fun way for students to learn the upper and lowercase letters of the alphabet. This could be used with EAL students and would be particularly useful if the student’s home language has a different script. Resources designed for EAL students are of course suitable for use with all students. The activity involves matching the lower case letters with the uppercase letters which are displayed on the boats. There are two sets of lower case letters. One set is in colour and colour coordinated with the boats. The other set is in black and for use when students are more competent at completing the task with the coloured letters. If this is given as an individual task to a new arrival, the reference page ( displaying upper and lower cases side by side) will enable students to successfully complete the task. For a student new to English, this also allows time out from listening to a language which he/she doesn’t understand and it is a useful activity which can be successfully completed. If this is done as a group activity, there is a lot of scope for discussion and reinforcement of colour vocabulary plus the opportunity for students to learn from their peers. E.g. Do you have a green letter? Do you have a light blue boat? Can I have the purple boat? etc
