This technique can be used in many ways. It is simple and focused both on student listening skills and also creating class atmosphere.
1. Put large posters of “Yes” and “No” at opposite ends of the classroom. (you might also use “Rocks! – Sucks! or “I think so” or “I don’t think so” etc….)
2. Students stand. Read a statement such as “I love chocolate ice cream” . Students answer by going to the side of the classroom, the poster, that represents their opinion/answer. Or if undecided they can go to the middle. Continue reading statements.
3. Give students a slip of paper. They write their own statements or closed questions (Yes/No). Then each take turns reading theirs and seeing the opinions/beliefs of classmates.
….
You can use this technique in many ways and to cover/introduce many topics and language items. Really good for doing surveys interactively… A perfect example of “learning on your feet” and Active Learning.
