1. Chunk Hunt (Noticing Activity) 🔍

Focus: Awareness & noticing

How it works:

• Give students a short text (article, dialogue, or transcript).

• Students underline multi-word units, not single words.

• They classify chunks into:

  • Verb + noun (make a decision)

  • Preposition chunks (at the end of)

  • Sentence frames (The reason why…)

Why it’s deep:

Answer the following questions: 

§  When you hear grammar, what's the first feeling that comes to mind?

§  What's a grammar rule you've changed your mind about as a teacher?

§  Should grammar errors always be corrected?

Teaching context

📘 Instructions

1️⃣ Two Truths ⏱️ (5 minutes)

• 🤔 Think about your own teaching experience.

• ✅ Share two effective teaching practices you usually use.

• ⚡ Then share one shortcut you take to save time or effort.

• 🗣️ Be honest and brief.

📌 Example

• 🖼️ Truth 1: I use pictures, flashcards, and real objects to explain new vocabulary because they help students understand meaning faster and remember the words better.

• 👥 Truth 2: I let students work in pairs so they can practice speaking, share ideas, and feel more confident using English in a supportive environment.

• ⏳ Shortcut: To save time, I sometimes use the same activity or worksheet with different classes, even if the levels are slightly different, and I make small adjustments when necessary.
