Describe a real emergency you experienced, saw personally or hear about, or you can make up a story about an imagined emergency situation. Write your story for homework. Do not tell anyone whether your story is real or imagined. At the next class meeting, students will take turns to  tell their stories and the other students will have to ask questions to better understand what happened. Then the listeners will have to vote to decide if the story is real or imagined.

This activity is to be classified as a Rule-Light and Prepared activity.

Students are given the task to complete in the written form - it is usually a paragraph, an answer to a question, sentences to implement specific grammar, etc.

Then students are divided into 2 groups. Group 1 will become the Inner Circle, standing shoulder to shoulder to each other, whereas Group 2 will become the outer circle, facing someone in the Inner Circle.

WIth the teacher's command, the Inner Circle students shares the prepared sentence, question, etc. - something the students in the outer circle should react to accordingly. Each session lasts 30 seconds or more, then the students in the Outer Circle move clockwise or counter-clockwise, whereas the Inner Circle students stand still.  The task is repeated until the full circle is done.

The inner circle and the outer circle exchange then and the task is repeated.

This activity is very useful for students who are shy to speak, as you see them grow and become more and more confident each time they talk to their new partners.

I did it during my online classes last time. The following is the activity I did after teaching students 3-question approach.

The focus of this activity is actually Step Two because a lot of students barely review their own performance and judge the work according to the criterion. That's why I designed specific questions for them to answer to make them feel a little bit safer or guided.

Step one
•CHOOSE A RANDOM TOPIC FROM THE PDF IN THE FOLDER

•STAND IN FRONT OF YOUR CAMERA AND GIVE AN IMPROMPTU SPEECH

•THE SPEECH HAS TO BE AT LEAST ONE MINUTE

•Please use the three-question approach and the three techniques team with it

Step TWO
•Rewatch your impromptu speech and give a self-reflection in front of the camera

•The things you need to include:

A.How did you do on ”the three question approach”?

B.How did you do on your intonation?

C.How did you do on your tone?

D.How did you do on your rate of speech?

•ATTENTION: You need to provide details/examples in your reflection instead of saying “I DID OK.” OR “I DID A GOOD JOB.”

We are still in the middle of this activity this week :) The topic for this unit is Genetic Engineering. I have applied the role-play situation idea into the speaking activity. The following is the requirement for my students:
"You will be the White House Press Secretary. You shall be making a one minute speech about the ban or the introduction of genetic engineering, depending on your view.

Like the Press Secretary, you will have to field questions from the floor (the rest of the class). They will be asking difficult questions about your decision. You will have to defend your point of view, but also acknowledge weak arguments of your own. Can you think of any solutions to the weaker arguments you have?"

in this activity, I used the white house press conference as the background image and printed out different news station signs so they can hold in their hands as a journalist. Besides that, all the students are required to wear formal uniform clothes to come to the classroom on the press conference day.

Another activity that has been accepted by my kids it to create a News show where they talk about the news of the day and even  have reporters presenting from the crime scene, or doing the live interview.  The final project is showing it as a newscast (a video).

I have used it once and it was a great activity. I had students come up with an app someone has yet to create. It was about something they liked.  Like Parks. So they created an app of where to find parks, parks with playgrounds, parks for dog walking, and many other things. They enjoyed it and then presented it to the class as a type of shark tank idea
