Using Whiteboards in Class

For general motivation and class dynamics the whiteboards are great. Pupils just like the switch from writing in their notebook. Here they are reviewing their news from the previous weekend and doing a simple questionnaire,  getting up out of their seats, walking around the class and writing down answers.

We have been working on giving instructions and orders. In the activity in the following video the pupils need to write down commands on their whiteboards using common verbs and then dictate them to the group who then have to do an action in response.

The aim of this activity is for everybody to participate, to think and act quickly, and to feel confident using English.
