| Title | Ideas for Teaching Animals |
| Body | A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for activities for teaching about animals received the following suggestions. These ideas should be useful for teachers of any language, and some of them could be applied to many themes as well. ---- This reminds me of a game that can be played with many topics. Each child has a picture (or vocab flashcard) on his/her back but doesn't know what it is. They are all walking around the classroom and giving each other clues about what is on their backs, and they have to guess. I learned this in a methods class for science! Clark, V. Re: Teaching animals... Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 Apr. 2006). ---- I purchased an inexpensive set of small plastic animals from a local store. You can put them on the overhead one at a time and ask questions in the target language....what is it, where does it live, what does it eat, etc. The shadow puppet aspect seems to keep them interested. You can also pass out the plastic animals and have them take turns describing their animals and guessing which animal the other students have. Smith, B. Re: Teaching animals...

FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 Apr. 2006). ---- When I read your message, I posted on my website a German unit of work about pets I wrote a few years ago and which may give you some ideas even if you're teaching a different language. The unit includes items on colour, description, costs, names, sentence building, likes/dislikes as well as a wordsearch and a revision sheet: http://www.specialeducationalneeds.com/mfl/year8german/pets . Hope it helps. Let me know if it does. Wilson, D. Re: Teaching animals... Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (3 Apr. 2006). |
