Speaking assignment with neighbour

Crossword: computers & the Internet

Your teacher will provide you and your neighbour with different versions of a crossword puzzle. You cannot show your neighbour your version & vice versa!

You will take turns to describe a word on your version of the crossword to your neighbour. You are not allowed to use the exact word! Your neighbour will do the same with their words...

Until both your versions of the crossword are complete.

Some more talking still....

Have a look at the "Let's talk about social media" worksheet.

Discuss the conversation cards with your neighbour.

Think about last week's tips/strategies:

1. Use chunks!
- What does it look like?       - What does it belong to?
- What is it used for?         - Where can you find it?
2. When stuck for what to say . . . ask questions!

3. Try to avoid the use of Dutch, please.
