Perhaps the easiest way to start integrating skills in your class is by combining the receptive and productive skills which are used across the same medium.

It also allows you to vary your activities in class, creating a more engaging and motivating experience for students.

Have them whisper their sentence to the next person in the circle, who must listen and repeat what they heard to the person next to them. 200900652 https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370643997 2019-07-09 14:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370643997 ACTIVITIES 200900652 https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370644095 Written medium – Reading and Writing]]> 2019-07-09 14:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370644095 First, put students into groups (or if you have a small class do it all together). Hand out a piece of paper to each student.Next, read a cue (see an example below) to the students and have them write a sentence at the top of the paper. They then fold the paper so their sentence is hidden and pass the paper to the person on their right. Each student should receive a new piece of paper each time they pass it on. 200900652 https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370644311 2019-07-09 14:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/200900652/yd6nmcvec5xe/wish/370644311
