With 'It is' VS 'They are' - fill in the gaps cards, the students' task is to say the word missing from the sentence. They have to remember the difference between the singular "it is" and plural "they are", as well as the plural 's' and singular 'a/an'.
The error control comes in a form of a stripe with the correct sentence and the missing word marked in red. I cut it off and reattach it using thin sellotape going around the card.
The cards are based on the same pictures as the Toys 1 and Toys 2 Vocabulary enrichment Sets available in my shop. They also form a set od educational aids with 'It is' VS 'They are' - multiple choice cards and 'It is' VS 'They are' - sentence making cards.
I've been an English teachers for over 15 years now and I love what I do. It took me many years to realise what age group I like working with the most: kids and pre-teens. It also took me some time to realise how much I dislike testing, grading and useless paperwork, in other words, all the things that stop me from doing what I am supposed to be doing: being with my students. There are two quotes from Maria Montessori that sum up exactly what I do and what I strive for: "The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." & "The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult." The moments I can drink coffee and just watch my students working away, not needing me, are my favourite. This is why I plan my lessons in a way that limits my involvement to the absolute minimum. This is also why I create materials which allow students to check and correct their own mistakes.
And for those of you who'd like to know: I studied Early Years Education with TEFL at Gdansk University for 3 years. After getting my Bachelor's degree, I went on to study English Philology for another 5 years, graduating with a Master's degree. The final mark on my diploma says "Excellent" 🙂 Recently, I have also completed a Montessori and autonomous language learning based training course for teachers of second languages at Montessori Stiftung Berlin. I'm also an AMI certified Montessori 6 -12 Assistant.
