TRANSPORTS PPT

This ppt activity aims at providing students with practice of still, already, just and yet attached with the present perfect tense. 

There are 17 slides, being the first one a brief explanation on how these words work. The following 16 slides show a picture and a sentence. The students have to choose from four buttons to make the sentence correct.

Present Perfect - STILL, ALREADY, JUST, YET

Slides show various examples of how base words can be expanded with prefixes and suffixes.



I would ask the class to shout out what suffix or prefix could be added to each base word. The following slide of each word shows an example word. Obviously, multiple suffixes or prefixes could work for some of the words given.



Under each word, I've added definitions and word classes to help show how word forms and meaning change with the addition of prefixes and suffixes. 



Use or modify as you wish.

Word Building - Prefix & Suffix

HOW TO PLAY - Divide the class into teams. Each team starts with 20 points. Taking turns they try to figure out each word by reading clues. Encourage students to make wild guesses. They will score 5 points if they choose the right arrow. Though students may know the right word, that doesn’t mean they will choose the correct arrow (so this will engage students more in the game). All other arrows subtract (from 1 to 3 points) from their initial score. Should they fail their attempt, move to the next group (they should again read the clues and say the word out loud).

WHICH FOOD AM I? - a dart game

This is a PowerPoint about going to the airport.

It has a listening activity and speaking activity.

It also includes a 'what does the word mean' section that can be used alongside my airport worksheet on my page.

Please check for spelling errors before use :)

The airport 

This presentation was made to introduce the different verbs and prepositions we use with different means of transportation. It can also be used to review vehicles vocabulary, adverbs of frequency, and weekdays.

Transportation and Vehicles

Learn what affixes can be added to the beginning and end of a word that changes its meaning or changes its form of grammar. Knowing affixes is an easy way to increase vocabulary.

Affixes - Prefixes and Suffixes

A short ppt on indefinite pronouns and what they mean. This helped a lot for my middle school students. The ppt helps the students learn the difference between some, any, no and every as well as the extensions of the words like someone, no one, anyone, everyone, somebody, nobody, anybody, everybody, something, nothing, everything, anything, somewhere, everywhere, nowhere and anywhere. There is also a short summary at the end of the ppt for students to write down as notes that are easy to remember.

Indefinite pronouns

With this PPT game students can practise negative prefixes to form adjectives. There is always a sentence and picture to help with the meaning. For further practice go to https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/prefixes_-_negative_meaning/word-formation/83377. Have fun.

Prefixed adjectives

THESE ARE THE SAME IDIOMS BUT IN PPP. YOU CAN DO MANY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS: DISCUSS MEANINGS, PRACTICE PRONUNCIATION, LEARN NEW WORDS, CREATE CONVERSATIONS, WRITE SENTENCES, DESCRIBE  PICTURES, ETC. I HOPE YOU CAN FIND IT USEFUL. 

SLIDES ABOUT IDIOMS

Presentation of vocabulary related to literary genres and types of books. Students are supposed to study the words and their definitions. Each slide has a picture that shows some samples of the books to make the meaning clearer. 

Literary Genres and Types of Books

This Conversation PowerPoint Presentation consist of 10 important airport related vocabulary words. 

Teachers are expected to teach their students the meaning of each word. There's also a conversation dialogue consisting of some frequently asked questions at the airport. The teacher is also expected to teach the students how to answer these questions and also add some yes/no questions. 

There's a quiz after teaching the vocabs. This quiz is to test your students understanding of the vocabulary words.
