Sharing Memories: A Picnic and a Beach Day

In this English lesson, students strengthen their listening comprehension, grammar awareness, and collaborative skills through two engaging texts about outdoor activities and family routines. Using the running dictation technique, learners listen to short narratives, note key information, and reconstruct the texts from memory. This activity focuses on possessive determiners and possessive pronouns, helping students notice and apply correct forms in context, including singular, plural, and agreement with the subject. Through group or pair work, learners practice accuracy, recall, and teamwork while developing strategies for active listening and language retention. By comparing their reconstructed versions with the original texts, students enhance self-correction skills, expand vocabulary related to leisure and outdoor activities, and build confidence in using English to describe ownership and shared experiences.
