3. The solution:

In order to improve writing skill in describing charts for students, I carried out a

few techniques at classes 11A4,11A5 and 11A6 in this school-year (2016-2017).

I gave out posters and handouts with the eliciting questions for these writing

tasks. In order to make them more interesting and help students concentrate to

the lessons, I used these eliciting questions in games such as “lucky number” or

“typhoon”.

Lucky number

- Divide the class into two teams.

- Representatives of each team choose the numbers in turn

- If they get a “lucky number”, they will have 2 points without any questions.

- If they have a correct answer, they will get 2 points.

- If they don’t answer the question, the chance will be for the other team.

Typhoon

- Representatives of each team choose the numbers in turn.

- They will get 5 points with a correct answer.

- If they get a “star”, they will get 5 points without a question.

- If they get a “plus…”, the point given will be added for them when they have

a correct answer.

- If they get a “minus…”, they will lose the point which the number gave.

- Unluckily, they will lose all the point they got when they get the word

“typhoon”
