ESL speaking and writing prompt activity question cards - How do you..
By Love Learning Languages - French Resources
60 ESL Speaking or writing question cards - How do you..?
This set of intermediate ESL conversation prompt cards will have your students talking to each other in English. These 60 question cards are terrific for discussion and also journal writing prompts. Each and every card is unique and makes your students think about how to do things in detail in English. Some are more advanced than others. Since there are so many of them you can easily print them, cut them out, and then sort them into stacks of different levels of difficulty for years and years of no-prep activities.
These speaking and writing prompt cards are meant for SECONDARY education and will not necessarily be a good fit for primary. The cards are in English only.
This activity is perfect for small groups or as a whole class activity. Use these cards as a review and vocabulary builder An easy to project PDF with only one card per page is included in case you want to work on the questions as a class without printing and cutting out the cards. Encourage your students to give a thorough complete answer and use the question as a basis for discussion. If the Question is "How do you build a snowman"? Then there should be a discussion not a one line answer "with snow.." These questions are great for essay writing as well!
ex: " I love building snowmen! In fact, I wish it would snow more often, so I could make one more often! When it snows a lot, at least two inches or more, I put on my winter clothes and my gloves and head to the park. There I starting by...." and so on. It's a really fun activity.

Four Corners | Figurative Language Game | No Prep | ELA | Writing | Poetry
By Perfectly Planned Designs
This Four Corners Game is a fun, no-prep activity you can use to review Figurative Language that your students will LOVE! They will love moving around the room as you click through the 40 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to test their knowledge, get exposure to high-quality examples, and even learn something new! This is an activity I use in my classroom every year during our narrative writing unit and I know your students will love it!
INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:
40 Examples of Figurative Language
4 Printable Classroom Signs
Definition of Terms
Answer Key
STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE
After reading each figurative language example on the board, move to the side of the room labeled “Metaphor,” “Simile,” “Hyperbole,” or “Personification.” Be prepared to defend your choices. You may disagree with your classmates’ opinions but do so respectfully. (I typically go over each example with students and discuss the impact of the words or phrases to uncover the deeper meaning. Ask questions such as, "what is being compared?" or "what can the reader visualize?")
*As an optional follow-up activity, use my No-Prep Figurative Language Short Passage Set resource to assess individual understanding, homework, or assessment!
REFLECTION:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!
