Oh, I see. I should have thought of that. Sorry.
Leading in
The purpose of a lead-in is to motivate learners to want to know more about the topic by giving them an activity about something they already know and can accomplish successfully.
If the topic is spelling and the theme clothes, then starting off with a spelling game is one way to go.
- Have students form pairs or small groups,
- Give them a list a words (on the board):
- the majority of words on the list should come from themes other than clothing, and they should be words the students already know or should know how to spell,
- some of the words should be from the theme clothing,
- most of the words should be spelt correctly,
- some of the words should be spelt incorrectly.
- Have the pairs/groups work together to find and correct the words that are misspelled.
- Have one person from each pair/group switch places with another pair/groups so they can compare their findings.
- The teacher elicits the pair/group findings and provides corrections, insight, additional information, and then introduces the lesson topic.
Hope that helps.
