interesting activities needed

Post by tinayng » Tue Mar 09, 2004 3:47 pm

Hi,

Could anyone give me some ideas on how to teach the differences of these phrases "be made of/be made from/be made with" more interesting? Thank you.

One idea is to have (or simulate) a "black bag/box" of items that only one person can see. He/She has to describe it while the rest of the class listens, perhaps in pairs, or in just 2 teams. Other students have to guess what it is. They can simply guess, or they can ask further questions about the item's use, size, shape, etc. Of course, the student in the know would have to say some of those things in the beginning, too, just to get things started.

Possible items:
paper clip
mechanical pencil
porcelain cup
modeling clay or Playdoh
a candle
a silk handkerchief
