The ppt simply takes students through the stages of the lesson. Students work in groups of 3-5 and have a pack of Group Talk cards and a worksheet per group. They then follow the activities on the worksheet, recording their answers and ideas in their books to refer to later in the course. Encourage them to use their knowledge of phonics and pronunciation to work out how to say what is on the cards and also their language detective/reading skills to work out what the cards mean. Reuse the cards for each new topic and soon your students will be debating with ease!
