TEACHER’S NOTES
Tourism

HISTORY
You can do this fun interactive integrated speaking, reading and listening
activity at any moment. It suits the beginning of a new topic like ‘Tourism’
to introduce new material, or the end of a topic to revise material already
learned.
Cut up the strips of parts of sentences and hand out one strip to each
student in the class. This means that each student will have one part of a
sentence or one piece of information, or one sentence starter, which will not
match with the ending. NB - print as many strips as you have students.
If there are more students than strips, just print extra copies of repeated
strips, or add some extra ones of your own.
• Ask one of the students to read the first half of their strip out loud.
Stress the need to read out the text loudly and clearly so that everyone
can hear. If others are talking, ask the student to read again until you
have everyone’s attention.
• Somewhere around the class, someone will have the answer/end of the
sentence.
• The first time you try this, students may be a little unsure about what is
expected.
• There may also be students who know the answer but don’t have it
written down on their strip. If the person who has the answer doesn’t
realise they have it, encourage others to say the answer and then ask
who has ...
• Then they read their ‘question’ and the process continues until all the
strips have been read out and you come back to the beginning again.
You may like to repeat the task and this time tell students ‘If you can do it in
under a minute, you won’t have any homework tonight!’
