  11. Grammar Auction Grammar Auction in five easy steps

  12. Grammar Auction • Step 1: Introduce the concept of a grammar auction in the target language with visual slides + a few key expressions in TL and English • Step 2: Present the envelope of “goodies” (sentences, money + bidding card) in the target language, by holding up each item as you explain it • Step 3: Pupils have ten minutes as mixed ability groups (you have already chosen the groups) to discuss the sentences: i.) are they correct? ii.) how much are they prepared to bet on that? Pupils will inevitably discuss in English, but award bonus money to groups you hear using the TL

  13. Grammar Auction • Step 4: Conduct the grammar auction in the target language, and pupils “bet” by holding up the card for their table • Step 5: Switch to English for the final part where you work through the sentences as a class to discuss if they are grammatically right or wrong, and how to correct the false ones. The team which has successfully bought the most “correct” sentences wins (in the event of a draw, the team which managed to buy the most correct sentences for the least money wins)

  14. Pupil packs In each envelope, there should be: • Bidding card for the team • 2 sets of ten sentences • Envelope containing 150 euros
