Re: First day activities
Here are two that I have had fun with in the past:
1. "Creative" autobiographies: [renamed] Students retell their life stories and approximately 50% is made up, exaggerated or straight-out lies. The other students in a small group have to decide what is true and what is false at the end of the story.
2. For returning students who know each other: Instead of "What did you do
over the summer?", tell them that this is a class reunion which is taking
place ten or twenty years from now. They have to make up a description of
what they have been doing for the last twenty years since they last saw each
other. This provides excellent practice for past tense and present perfect
(What have you been doing.....)
