Note: You could adapt this to focus on vocabulary from the lesson by replacing the sentences with a list of words that
pupils remember (the number of words depending on their familiarity, the age and the proficiency of the pupils). Start
with a small number (2 or 3) and work upwards.
POST-LESSON TASK 6: WHISPER AND WRITE
AIM: To review topic language and spelling
MATERIAL: Board
1. Draw 4 columns on the board.
2. Divide the class into 4 teams. Ask each team to stand in a line facing the board.
3. Give each pupil at the front of the line some chalk or a board pen.
4. Go to the back of the line and ask the 4 pupils at the back of each line to come to you. Whisper
a topic word (e.g. coconut) or instruction (e.g. Draw a triangle and a square).
5. The pupils go back to their lines and whisper the topic language to the next pupil in the line. This
continues until it reaches the pupil at the front of the line, who writes down the word, or follows
the instruction.
6. Each team gets 1 point for a correct answer. The team who finishes first gets an extra point if their
answer is correct.
7. Continue with new words or instructions. Change the order in the line each time (e.g. pupil at the
front goes to the back, so that there is a new pupil at the front).

possible rather than giving them the language directly.
3. Pupils complete worksheet by drawing a picture of their family and writing a word
challenging, either show on the whiteboard how to write it, or show about it under the
picture. Tell pupils that the work will be displayed so they should take care with
handwriting and neatness. Go around the classroom and check the pupils’ writing. If some
pupils are finding writing certain letters within them on a blank page how you would write
it. If they are still finding it challenging, you could write that word in dotted line and ask
the pupil to trach them. Display the pictures in the classroom.

pupils. You could also follow Teacher’s Book p.20 Grammar Box here.

as in Lesson 118. Give the groups back their same cards. Pupils divide the cards into sets,
as before. Divide groups in pairs of pupils, they take either the places set of cards OR the
activities + adjectives set and use them to play a guessing game:
Places: Pupil A takes a card, pupil B has to guess where the pupil was:
B: Were you at …?
A: Yes, I was. / No, I wasn’t.
Activities + adjectives: Pupil A turns over and shows the activity card (e.g. the film), then
takes an adjectives card. Pupil B has to guess the adjective:
B: Was the film funny?
A: Yes, it was./No, it wasn’t.
Or:
B: How was it?
A: It was xxx.
5. When pupils are finished, they exchange the sets with the other pair in their group and
play again.
6. In notebooks, pupils write down where they were at the weekend. They write their
opinions of what they were doing. Pupils need only write in note form, single words at
this point. Monitor and help pupils write what they want to write by supplying them with
the vocabulary. Remind them to ask for your help in English.

could correct some common mistakes and useful new vocabulary at the end of the activity.

speakers questions if they can. Again, focus on fluency rather than accuracy and allow

the animal itself. Encourage pupils to add some information anyway.
6. Ask pupils to draw their animal in large size on paper and cut it out.
7. At the same time, have different pupils in the group write the sentences on separate
pieces of paper.
8. Organise the class so that they all stick their pictures on the display board/very large
paper. They also stick the sentences, separately, away from the pictures. Ask one or two
pupils to supervise this and to write a title for the display (e.g. Malaysian animals in
danger! or Endangered animals around us).
9. Pairs could connect their sentences to their pictures using the string/thread themselves,
or you ask pupils to match each other’s sentences and pictures if you have time.
Post-lesson
