*** One 2 One ***

You’re in a classroom and no one except for one student came. What do you do?
a) Leave
b) Teach

If you don’t know the answer then…
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tiger by the toe
If he hollers let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

The correct answer is to teach. Just like you would teach a private (one to one) lesson. However, in one to one lessons, what can you do when you run out of things to say???

¨ Invent characters for yourself and the student so that there are 4 (or more) people in the class.
¨ Talk about famous people or people they are interested in
¨ Do some project work
¨ Use a reader
¨ Discuss a TV programme you both watch
¨ Use the internet
¨ Watch a film in bits & discuss
¨ Get them to give you a report of the current news
¨ Text summaries
¨ Vocabulary envelope
