  • I always use percentages when I teach this grammar topic- the most popular activity I found to practice this was 'Three lies and a Truth' I model it first so my students get to know more about me and then I get them to write them about themselves.

    • I think that you can use the percentages to check the concept but many students get too hung up on them so they don't understand a sentence like this: I usually wear gloves while ice skating, especially if we establish that I rarely go ice skating. I think any activity the improves STT is great, any chance you get to increase production will improve learning.
