CLAUSES OF PURPOSE, REASON AND RESULT

Here we are going to compare jobs, and decide which one is "better." Quite a subjective word, isn´t it? Well, yes, and that´s good because differing opinions can generate a lot of lively discussion in class about what really makes a job good. The money, the enjoyment, the respect? Let the students decide. Get them to explain their choices to each other with a simple "because" clause. Page 1 is a gif file with the original fonts, Page 2 is fully editable. Again, totally fresh material, so it´s for to you to test it. I´d be glad to hear how it works. Enjoy! :)

Who has the better job? - Comparisons

Print off a few copies of this page and cut out each box - the students will have fun putting 11 sentences together in which they must choose SO or BECAUSE + a the end of the sentence. I held it as a race AND they had to write down the reverse to win (instead of "I'm very tired so I'm going to bed" they must write "I'm going to bed BECAUSE I'm very tired")

So or Because sentence structure

This is a typical snakes and ladders boardgame with vocabulary about daily routine, household chores and free time activities.

Students have to make a sentence with the vocabulary on the square they land on. I'm uploading the board in parts because of the size of the file. 

If you want to make the game more challenging you will also find:

- a subject pronoun dice. Students have to make a sentence not only with the vocabulary provided but also with the pronoun they get.

- A dice that tells them whether they have to make an affirmative sentence, negative, yes/no question or information question.

I hope you find it useful to practise Simple Present Grammar and Daily Routine vocabulary.



DAILY ROUTINE SNAKES AND LADDERS PART 1

I created this poster as a request for a friend who is also an English teacher. Usually I don't have time for creating my own material but when I do I like to do it creativily. In this case, I used emojis which are really fun for teenagers since they use a lot of them on a daily basis. If you use this printable please respect it because I created it. Please do not sell, share. Thanks! greetings from Chile.

REMEMBER: say THANKS!
