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 )
