Creating an Exercise
- "What Was in the Nest?" from The Elson Readers Primer |
| 21 |
Have the students each make an exercise and
answer key comparable to the preceding four, using some other story that
they are reading. You might want to explain that they can take parts of
sentences from the orignal text, as was done in making the exercises above. |
| 22 |
(Based on the preceding exercise) Have
the students work in pairs, each doing the other's exercise, and then checking
responses against the answer key. Doing and checking this exercise should
take about ten minutes at most. If you set the students up in two rows,
one row can move back a seat after each exercise, thereby setting up new
pairs so that the students could do five to ten different exercises in
one class period. (Note that in order to do this, students will need to
make several copies of their exercise.) |
