I made sure to tell everyone they would be teaching how to make their plane later.<br \/>\nThe vocabulary needed was in the reading but be aware that inattentive students may ignore it. I would have them read and copy out a list of ten or so useful vocabulary items if I did this again. Focus on form was given as we went.<br \/>\nThere was the opportunity to ask meanings of words as we went along and the instruction task was passed if planes were made and failed if they didn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nPlane types were tested for speed, height and distance. Students then wrote up a short report.<br \/>\nAs extension work, we tried folds to the wings and fuselage to see if the planes would turn or roll.<br \/>\nThe students loved doing this and everyone was speaking English all the time. There was even more negotiation of meaning than usual, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love paper aeroplanes?
