Place the students and tables in a line in the middle of the classroom! Put the dictation on a wall behind one of the lines, the students have to dictate the text - running back and forth. (practise the punctuation marks before the exercise)
Shouting dictation:
Pair up the students, give them the same text (with different gaps) - let them stand at opposite walls and dictate together. (before you start: tell them what to do when they have finished: check it together, think about what you did, listen to the other groups.
Class dictation:
Cut the text into sentences, number them, and hand them out to the students. Now dictate! You can stop the exercise after a couple of lines, and ask the students what they think will happen.
Writing ideas:
- Free writing with music
- Writing a letter - act it out! Before you write a letter, give the students roles: address to/from, dear..., date etc. Let them stand on the floor - the floor is the letter, where are you?
- Tip: find mistakes easier - read the text backwards!
- A detective story:
- Think of a charactor
- write four adjectives about your charactor
- tell your group about him/her
- choose one in the group
- give him/her a name + age
- The person is missing and you want to help find him. You go to his house and find some texts in a drawer (letters, tickets, a postcard etc.)
- Choose one of them and create it
- Make a poster with the texts
- Make profiles of another group's texts
- and so on and so on - see where you go!
