In this lesson, students will learn about a "potluck" party. It will also
help them to remember the expression " I brought ... "
To start the activity the first person says:
Each person says the phrase " I WENT TO A POTLUCK PARTY and ... ", says what
they brought and then repeats what everyone else brought. ( See
the Example of activity
)
The students should not take a long time to think about what they bring.
This slows down the activity and makes it less interesting. Keep the pace
going. If they need help, offer them a suggestion or let the other students
help them.
Write the students' names ( first or last names ) on the board in the order
they speak so that everyone will remember the names and only have to think
of the foods they brought.
Don't use the letters q, u, x, z. ( See
the suggestions
below.)
Susan : I went to a Potluck Party and I brought apples.
Kenji : I went to a Potluck Party and I brought bananas and Susan brought apples.
Jun : I went to a Potluck Party and I brought cake and Kenji brought bananas and Susan brought apples.
