TEACHING AND PRACTICING FAMILY VOCABULARY
Here's a way to teach and practice vocabulary of family members with low and intermediate levels. 1-Draw a family tree on the board made up of rectangles with people's names inside and connected with lines. The size of the family tree will depend on how much vocabulary you want to teach. One of the rectangles should read ME. 2-Write a list of family words next to the tree for your Ss to label the people's names within the boxes. 3-Have your Ss work in pairs and practice the following exchange. B will play the role of the person belonging to the family whose tree has been drawn on the board. A will ask questions with the names within the boxes. A: WHO'S_______________? B: THAT'S MY _________________? ( B's answers will depend on the family tree on the board and not his or her own )
