FORTUNE COOKIES* Materials: One fortune cookie per student Dynamic: Whole class Time: 15 minutes Procedure: 1. Discuss with the class where they find predictions in the “real world.” (Usual answers will include weather forecasts and fortune telling.) Ask if they can think of a restaurant where fortunes are used. Most of the time, at least one student will mention Chinese restaurants. Explain that the fortune cookies at Chinese restaurants sometimes contain fortunes, but sometimes may be just factual statements (“You are a good person”). 2. Give each student a fortune cookie and have them look at their “fortunes” to see if the main verb form is either to be + -ing or will + simple form. If a student has one of these forms in his/her fortune, ask him/her to read it aloud to the class. 3. Because these fortunes are often difficult for a non-native speaker to understand, go over the meanings, perhaps asking the class what they think is meant. NOTE: Fortune cookies can usually be found in large supermarkets in the Asian food aisle. *Suzanne W. Woodward’s Fortune Cookies was originally published in TESOL Journal, Vol. 5, No. 3, Spring 1996, p. 31. Used with permission. 2. WRITE YOUR OWN FORTUNES Materials: One slip of paper per student with the name of a classmate on it Dynamic: Whole class Time: 10 minutes Procedure: 1. Distribute the slips of paper. Tell the students they are going to write a fortune for the student whose name is on their paper. The fortunes may be silly or serious, but must contain one of the future forms studied in class. 2. Collect the slips. Redistribute the fortunes to the students whose names are on the papers. 65 3. Invite students to share their fortunes with the class, but do not require them to do so. If the students know each other well, the fortunes may be too personal to share with the rest of the class. 4. Have students check their fortunes to see if one of the correct forms was used. If not, have them try to rewrite the prediction, using a correct future form. NOTE: This is a good follow-up activity to Activity 1: Fortune Cookies, but it can be done alone by doing steps 1 and 2 of Activity 1 first. 3. MAGIC 8 BALL Materials: A 3”x 5” index card per student, Magic 8 Ball Dynamic: Whole class Time: 30 minutes Procedure: 1. Have students write two predictions for their classmates on their index cards––one using will and the other using be going to. Tell them to make the predictions general so that they can apply to anyone in the class. They can be serious or funny and should be positive. Put all the cards into a hat or bag. 2. Each student pulls a card. If a student draws the card he/she wrote, he/she replaces it and chooses another. 3. The students read one of the predictions on the card, turn it over, and on the back write one or more questions that might come before the prediction. Example: Prediction: You will win a hundred dollars. Questions: Will I be lucky in Las Vegas? Will I win the lottery this weekend? 4. Collect the cards again. Pull out the Magic 8 Ball and announce that Professor Grammar has a magic ball that can tell the future. Ask volunteers to pose a question to the Magic 8 Ball. Professor Grammar reads the ball’s answer to the class. Everyone will want to question the ball at least once. 5. If time, they can read the second question for the second prediction. NOTE: The Magic 8 Ball is available in any toy store. SUGGESTION: Instead of using a Magic 8 Ball, you can prepare some general answers on slips of paper, such as yes, no, definitely, probably not, it’s unclear at this time, etc. When a student asks his/her question, Professor Grammar can reach into a bag and pull out a slip with the answer to the question.
