This material is composed of 30 character cards and 4 pages of word cards. Print and laminate all the pages and cut out all the circles with words for describig the characters. You can use velcro dots with this material or simply place the circles on the character cards.
The student's task is describe the character in the picture using all the words around them. The words are divided into categories, which will require your students to use:
- 'to be'
- 'can'
- 'have got'
You can also ask your students to describe the clothes that the character is wearing and their general appearance.
You can decide if you want to choose the words for the students, have them choose the words they want, or have them pick the words randomly from a bag.
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.
