5. What is active learning?
Making physical response a routine part of learning
The levels of active learning:
Word level (fun but ….)
Sentence level (manipulation and creativity)
Conceptual (tense and grammar)

6. Human word chains Reinforce a basic sentence structure
Construct, deconstruct, adapt and extend sentences.
Involves more pupils than a Smartboard activity
Stimulates more interest and sustains focus
Particularly effective for starters and plenaries
Practise sequencing a narrative

7. Using verbs
Use actions to practise and reinforce grammar (no need to devote lesson time to traditional exercises)

8. Timelines
