SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES
Read the different greetings, farewell or courtesy expressions from the Big Book or other resources, and have Ss act them out. Make sure Ss understand the
meaning of the new vocabulary. Try to avoid the use of Spanish; you can use body language to model the different greeting, courtesy, and farewell expressions.
Organize Ss in groups. Make them create a non-verbal way to express the next greeting and farewell expressions: Hi! Hello, Give me five! See you tomorrow,
Whats up?, Whats new?, Good morning, Good evening, Good night, and Goodbye (encourage Ss to be original and have fun with this exercise).
Provide Ss with handouts for them to be able to make traceable illustrations, showing situations for courtesy expressions. Alternatively, they may illustrate others.
Make then use the illustrations to interact with other Ss.
Show flashcards to the class and ask them to come up with the right courtesy expression. First as a whole class, later Ss can take turns to flash the cards to their
classmates for them to come up with the courtesy expression. Ss may take turns to play "Guess it through mimicry". One S acts out, and the rest of the group
guesses.
Organize Ss in pairs. With use of puppets, ask them to act out the following courtesy expressions in order to create a short dialogue: Please, Thank you, May I go
to ________?, Can I go to ________?, Can I borrow ___?, May I come in?, Can I have____?, Raise your hand, Excuse me, Nice to meet you, etc. Make sure Ss
understand the instructions as well as the expressions they have to act out.
Organize Ss in teams or pairs, and encourage them to use flashcards to elaborate illustrations on their notebooks; also, provide them with strips of courtesy
expressions to be matched with the flashcard they refer to.
Provide Ss with strips of courtesy expressions to be traced. Ss illustrate the strips on their notebooks or stick the right cutout. Make sure that Ss glue the right strip
according to the illustration in their notebooks. After this, ask them to use their expressions to interact with other Ss
Have Ss cut out illustrations related to greeting, farewell, and courtesy expressions from magazines. Then, ask them to circle greetings in green color, the
courtesy rules in red, and farewell expressions in blue. Depending on Ss needs, this activity can be performed in pairs or teams.
As an alternative activity, Ss can be given prompts to interact with their peers; they can be provided with a model to follow and then given the chance to work with
different partners. Ss can be monitored while interacting. For those who can barely read, instead of words you can encourage them to read images instead of
words by using illustration instead of prompts.
Have Ss explore different written sets of rules, and ask them to choose one for their list of rules. Gradually, build up a mini book of courtesy expressions. As an
alternative activity, Ss can design a memory game by writing the rules and the picture that represent them on small cards. Then, ask them to form groups and play
the game.
In order to make the difference between courtesy rules, farewell expressions and greetings, sentence or images can be hidden under different pieces of furniture.
Then, Ss can be asked to look for a courtesy rule, a farewell or a greeting expression and paste it on the wall which will have to be divided into three columns.
Organize the class into four teams. Give a topic to each team (greetings, farewells, asking for a favor, and asking for permission). Have them choose 5 examples
of each one.
Ask them to write down the expressions on their mini-book and illustrate them. After that, Ss read the rules out loud. Finally Ss have to place the mini-book in a
visible space.
Encourage Ss to use the list of courtesy expressions written down on the book as much as possible to communicate ideas with others. Encourage Ss to pinpoint
some expressions and read them out loud
Ss pick a classmate to exchange notebooks. Ss use peer correction to make sure the courtesy expressions are correctly traced and illustrated in their lists.
Ss choose in teams an appropriate title and share with the rest of the group. If possible, choose only one
Reinforce courtesy expressions throughout the sessions, and make sure Ss identify displayed expressions in the classroom when needed.
