Problem Solving Task

The Third Week

I handed out some colourful cards which include some target vocabulary for warm-up. They acted out the words or drew some and their friends try to guess. The students had great fun while trying to convey the meanings of words without speaking. Additionally, this warm-up activity was really practical in terms of time and all the students stayed active during the activity.

I passed problem solving task activity. I explained the situation to the students and asked them to find a solution for the tourist. I divided the class into two groups as individuals and pairs. Each group was handed out a situation that reflects a problem about real life. I also gave the individuals the same situation. The pairs discussed the possible problems seen in the worksheet given by the teacher while individuals were studying on their own.After discussing and thinking of possible solutions, they wrote their solutions about the situation that they had deduced from their situations by using target vocabulary given. I collect papers. The students liked this task very much. They wrote so many interesting solutions. 

I handed out some worksheets which include the target vocabulary. They matched the words with the pictures representing their meanings. It was really an easy activity since the aim was just to provide recall of the target vocabulary. I collected worksheets.
