Last year while looking at a well known coursebook I was struck by the number of quotes that started each unit. I was also struck by the fact that these contained a lot of good language that wasn’t being used. There were lots of nice discussion questions, but nothing on the vocab or grammar the quotes contained. So, I started to try to focus on these and encourage my students to notice what grammar was being used in them and to talk about why?
That’s what this mini lesson does – you could use it as a warmer, a flexi-stage, or just take the approach and apply it to quotes as you find them.
