- Ask students to come up with a list of possible situations where
dialogues might take place and write them on one side of the board
(in a bank, shop, airport, railway station, in the street, at
home, at school, at work, in a restaurant, in a museum, on the
bus etc.).
- On the other side of the board, put the following words. A problem.
A present. An invitation.
- Invent two characters and put their names on the board. Ask
students to choose a situation and one of your three words. Together,
build up a dialogue on the board, practising as you go and getting
different students to take part each time.
- When you feel students have had enough practice, put them in
pairs to write their own dialogue, using one of the situations
and one of the words on the right hand side of the board.
- Go round and help as necessary. When students have finished,
ask them to perform their dialogues for the rest of the class.
The class has to guess the situation and the word the pair chose.
- Give feedback to the whole class on any strong or weak points
that came out.
