Как делать упражнения по грамматике и не умереть со скуки?

Задания и упражнения на уроке бывают разные. Ролевые и , дискуссии, презентации, аудио и много других креативных штук.

И, конечно, традиционные упражнения. Заполнить пропуски, подобрать нужную форму глагола, раскрыть скобки и прочие «захватывающие» задания. Чаще всего такие упражнения дают на дом, но иногда их нужно сделать на уроке.

Единственная печалька проблема с такими упражнениями (хоть дома, хоть на уроке), что они часто выполняются механически. И так же механически проверяются. А в голове в итоге – пусто. Ну ладно, может быть, и не пусто. Но и не густо))

И раз уж таких упражнений практически не избежать – польза-то от них все же есть! – надо их как-то обыграть и заставить работать на себя.

Сегодня покажу один такой способ небанально сделать и проверить грамматическое упражнение (Past Simple и Past Continuous).

Упражнение на Past Simple и Past Continuous
