Extension |
Teacher shows the chunk: “This is a father. He can swim. This is a mother.

Learners look at the pictures and Learner 1 says the sentence e.g. This is a father. Learner 2 repeats the sentence and adds another, e.g. This is a father. He can swim. Learner 3 repeats the previous sentences and adds more, e.g. This is a father. He can swim. This is a mother. Learner 5 repeats the previous sentences and adds one more, e.g. This is a father.
