It is a very usual way of forming groups. We can start by pointing
at the students giving them a number (up to the amount of groups we want to
create) and following some sort of order (to the right or to the left when
working in circles or row by row when sitting in columns), later on we will ask
the students to continue with it (1-2-3-4;1-2-3-4...) till they all have a
number. At the end we will ask each number to gather at a different place of
the class. This technique might suffer from the subsequent uses problem, just
as the previous one. That is why it seem s to be a good idea to introduce
different variations (e.g. the first 1-4 are group number one, the second 1-4 are
group number two etc.) so it is harder for the children to predict the result.
The purpose of this blog is to host a compilation of different texts and activities which can be used for an EFL class, as well as general resources. During the following weeks I'll post regularly different resources learnt at uni as well as other things I’ve seen as a student or within less formal environments, and hopefully I’ll do it both in Spanish and in English. In addition there will be useful links to other blogs and compilations.
