Phrases+Brouillees

Re-arranging jumbled sentences.

Preparation- Write out a sentence with each word and punctuation mark on a separate card. Tips: It's best to capitalize the first word in the sentence. Make sure to number the cards on the back- so they don't get mixed up.

Procedure- 1. Divide the class into groups (4-5 in each group) 2. Give each group a packet of cards and a piece of paper to record their sentences. (Keep extras on the teacher's desk) 3. Tell each group that it must use all the cards to form a sentence. 4. When they have figured the sentence out, they will write down the card number (written on the back) and then write the sentence. After they will return the packet of cards to the teacher's desk and grab another packet. 5. When the groups have finished, read the correct sentences and have groups check their answers.
