This weeks lesson consists of a game with various question types and activities to revise things we've done so far.
One of the activities requires a student to stand up and speak on a topic for 45 seconds. On Monday I asked a student to speak about China for forty-five seconds.
He stood, stared at his watch and started.
"Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa......iiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssss...........
veeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy............biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggggg.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii................loooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve....................................
Chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa: finished"
Seven words spoken in drawl so slow that they took forty-five seconds to complete. John Wayne would have been proud of it.
I gave his team the points and demonstrated the performance to every other class of the week. I've had them rolling in the aisles.
