| Title | Ideas for Using Sentence Strips: Part 2 |
| Body | Here are more ideas, continued from last week, that FLTEACH users have suggested for using write-on, wipe-off sentence strips: I took the time and money one year to get those adhesive magnets, cut them up and put them on all the strips (I have long ones and shorter ones). The shorter ones are different colors. The shorter ones are great for categorizing vocab on the board. I had 4 rows of kids. I gave each row a basket with the vocab all divided up. Each basket's words were in a different color. I put categories on the board, and each team member took a word and had to work together to place them in the correct category. Discussion follows and some kids had interesting reasons for putting a certain word in a category. Another idea is out of order sentences. Two teams use the same sentence, but at opposite sides of room. Each group has to make the sentence correct. The kids stand in a long line to make the sentence. A leader is supervising the action and rings a bell when complete. Make a couple of sets where each team is a different color. Clip them together or put a small number in the corner so you know which sentence you're doing-- don't forget to make yourself a key. Clip them together when done, so you can use them for the next period and so they don't get mixed together. Genovese, D. Re: Request for creative ideas with sentence strips. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 7 Jul 2007). --- My students love quick "Read-my-lips dictation" (sentence, word or syllable dictation): I announce the number of syllables (or words) to come and write as many lines on the board for all to see. They do the same on their board. I lip my syllables while they try to guess what I "said.” Then I say it out loud, repeating if needed. I wait a few seconds, so they can write down their guesses on their boards. Then, I write it on the board myself for all to see/correct... You can also use them for pair-work and draw-describe activities. An example: project an image on the board (or give a copy of the image to each student) describe the image with false and true statements to which the students write a response; correct out loud on board. Move on to next image. Or, provide two images per pair of students; give them time to prepare 3 to 5 questions to their corresponding image; then they can take turns being teacher/student while describing their image to the other member of the pair.
