Pedagogical Guide
Objective & content
This A1 sheet practises vocabulary on places in town and travel, with six words such as airport, library and city. Under "Read the clue. Unscramble the letters to make a word.", each line gives a clue (for example "A room in the house") and jumbled letters (MOOR), and students write the word in the last column. Page 2 is the teacher answer key.
Pedagogical guide
Unscrambling makes students look inside a word, so it suits revision, not introduction: a student who has never met the word can only guess. Most clues say what you do in the place (A place to read books), so they double as speaking prompts; explain that A country road means a road outside town and the answer is road.
Suggested procedure
- (3 min) Ask students in English where they go on Saturdays.
- (10 min) Students work alone and write each word in the last column.
- (5 min) Correct with the answer key, one word at a time; students spell each answer aloud in English.
- (5 min) Students say where they go during the week, for example I go to the library.
Adaptations
[S] List the six places in a jumbled column so students match each one to its clue.
[A] Students write A place to ... clues for school and park and swap with a partner.
Materials & prerequisites
One copy of page 1 per student; keep page 2 for yourself. The words must already have been taught.
