In

extended fluency by having students ask follow-up questions to make conversation.

Activity 2 - This May be your Life


W

1. Choose one of the events on the worksheet and write it on the whiteboard. Ask the student(s)
to choose a number from 1 to 5 to describe how likely they think it is that this event will happen to
them (1= I’m sure it will happen, 5 = I’m sure it won’t happen). Use the answers to elicit the
concept of ‘may’ or ‘might’

2. Tell the students they are going to conduct a survey to find out what their classmates
think will happen to them in the future. (In one-on-one classes, the student can leave the
classroom and ask other students, tutors, teachers etc.)

3. Organise the students into mini-groups of 3-4. Give one copy of the worksheet to each group.
In one-to-one classes teacher and student can work as a pair asking and answering the
questions on the worksheet.

4. In their groups students go through the list of events and decide how likely they think it is that
these events will happen to them at some time in their lives.

5. The students record their individual answers on the same questionnaire by putting one tick for
each member of the group in the relevant column. If there are things on the list that students have

sh
already done, they should ignore them and only record an answer for things they haven’t done.
Set a time for task completion (10 minutes).

6. Ask a representative from each group to call out their total results for each point on the

li
questionnaire and add them up to find the totals for the whole class.

ng
7. Conduct a short feedback slot by asking the students if any of the results are expected or
surprising.
