Can you tell me the way...?
In this pairwork activity, students practice asking for and
giving directions using prepositionsof movement and place.
Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each pair of
students and cut as indicated.
Procedure
Begin by asking the students about places near to the school,
e.g. Can you tell me the wayto the supermarket?
Make sure they begin: Go out of the school, turn left, etc.
As they are giving you directions, write the key
expressions they use on the board, e.g. go
straight, go along, turn left/right, go past, in front of,
opposite, across from, etc. If need be,review prepositions of place
and movement with the class.
Tell the students that they are going to practice asking for and
giving directions.
Ask the students what question they would use to ask for
directions.
Elicit the question: Can you tell me the way to...?
Divide the class into pairs (A and B) and hand each student a
corresponding worksheet.
Tell the students that they must keep their worksheet secret
until they have finished the
activity.
Explain that the students have maps containing different
information. They also have eightplaces they need to find.
Their task is to ask their partner where the eight places are
and write the locations on themap.
Check the students know where they are on the map (at the top of
North Road).
Student A goes first and asks Student B for directions to the
places written below the map.
When Student A has been given directions to the place they want
to go to, they write thename of the place on their map.
When Student A has found all eight places, the students swap
roles.
Afterwards, the students compare their maps and see if
they have marked the placescorrectly.
