Pyramid sentence-building

Overall rating 4 out of 54.7 (11 ratings)

Last updated 20 March 2013, created 03 June 2010, viewed 12,563

This is a framework for encourage learners to extend their sentences and say more! They particularly like the competitive element and will put in serious practice to be the best at performing their longest sentence. This resource forms part of a project looking at ways to encourage learners to i More…nteract more in the target language, developing the skills of both planned and unplanned (or spontaneous) talk. It was designed with Y7 in mind, but with very little work could be differentiated for Y8, Y9 or even KS4 classes – this is because it’s the teacher questioning that sets the level of challenge.

I love this way of structuring spontaneous speech, guiding but not prescribing, and adding a touch of competition!
