How does this work?

Activity type: Pair activity

Time: 15–20 minutes

Preparation: None. If you choose to do the optional activity, photocopy one set of instructions for each group.  Click here to download the sheet of instructions.

Procedure: Divide the class into pairs. Ask them to name the last modern device that they bought and describe to their partner how the device works. For example, if a student recently bought a digital camera/camcorder, ask him or her to explain how to take pictures and then switch to the record mode.

Option: Divide the class into groups of three or four students. Give each group a set of instructions, where each sentence is cut into a separate strip. Ask the students to put the directions into the correct order.
