Teaching Making Suggestions with Posters

I've shared with you one piece of my teaching activities that can be used to teach the expressions of congratulating. Now, I am sharing with you another piece of activities that can be use to teach the expressions of making suggestions. I hope this will help you to design a lesson plan and improve your teaching activities.

BUILDING KNOWLEDGE
• Form a group (work in pair or small group) or let the students work individually.
• Distribute the posters to each group or each student.
• Ask them to read the posters.
• Ask them to find out what the poster suggests the reader to do. You can use this worksheet to guide them.

        Download the worksheet here.

• Listen to each group’s opinion.

CREATING A POSTER
• Give them some topics or you can let them choose a free topic.
• The topics which I gave to my students are:

            How to improve your English.

            How to be healthy.

            How to keep your classroom clean.

            How to reduce stress.

PRESENTING THE POSTER
• Ask them to create based on the topic which they choose.
• Ask them to present the poster in front of the class. They should use the expression of making suggestions to tell about the poster.
• To keep the other students listen to their friends’ presentation, ask them to write what their friends suggest to do.

NOTE: 
If you are teaching using Kurikulum 2013, you may download the lesson plan which I used to teach this material.

Some of my students’ works:

• How to keep the classroom clean
