Atividade 5

 

No quadro, escreva a seguinte frase: 

 

I can’t make this new printer work.

 

e, também, as palavras da tabela abaixo: 

 

 

how	why	what	about	if	plug	plugged	plugging	it	in
don’t	you	try	not	could	always	may	can	could	I

 

Os alunos deverão, individualmente ou em pares (dependendo do número de alunos na sala), usar as palavras da tabela, e não outras, para escrever quantas sugestões forem possíveis para a frase: I can´t make this new printer work, escrita no quadro.

Variação da atividade: Se achar que é possível, divida a sala em grupos e faça uma competição, em que o grupo que montar mais frases (corretas) é o vencedor. Distribua prendas aos alunos do grupo vencedor, como bombons, balas, pirulitos, como forma de recompensa e motivação.    

 

SOME POSSIBLE ANSWERS:

► Why not plug it in?

► How about plugging it in?

► What about plugging it in?

► Why don’t you plug it in?

► Why don’t you try plugging it in?

► You could always plug it in.

► You could always try plugging it in.

► What if you plugged it in?
