With any short or medium sized text, all you have to do is split it into two (photocopy & chop) and give each half to 2 students (Student A and Student B).

Get each student to read their half and highlight the key points, preferably with a highlighter pen. Tell each st that the objective is to include some new words/expressions in their highlights.

Next, get all your student As together and get them to talk about their half together and agree about what the main points are. Sit with them and help them with vocab & structures which would be helpful. Do the same with the student Bs.

Finally get a student A to sit opposite a student B and get each to tell their half to the other (student A starts of course)

Encourage sts to interrupt each other along the way with clarifying questions if something is not clear. Threaten them that the listener might have to retell to you what they have heard from their partner if you sense the listener is not really listening!

Finish off with useful feedback and Bob�s yer uncle!
