This morning in Class 209, we came to the vocabulary of Lesson 6. An idea came up before I stepped into the classroom. Why not let the students make up a story using the vocabulary words? They could learn to use the words by using them.
I did this last semester with former Class 314. Here is how I conducted the activity. I taught the first word on the vocabulary list, including its sounds, meanings, and important usages. Then the students made a sentence with the word to start their story. When I taught the second word, they made a sentence to continue the story. During the relay story game, the secretary jotted down what his/her classmates said. We did this all the way to the last word and the class got a story they created together.
For example, here is the beginning of the story Class 209 invented this morning. The bold-faced words are the vocabulary words in Lesson 6.
Iverson is an invisible man. He is part of June's collection. One day he went to a distant village to find something valuable...
Absurd as the story might be, the students were using the new words and that's the purpose of this activity.
With this activity, both the students and I had a good time in class this morning.
