Isn't That Women's Work - Using Expressions with do, make, and get
This set of hand-held visuals has been designed for the following types of language activities:
• practice the use of expressions using do, make, and get
• take part in an activity in which students help correct one another’s pronunciation
• provide an interesting and amusing group activity
• encourage group interaction and discussions
• increase individual student’s speaking time during class
• expose students to new vocabulary and expressions
STORY DEVELOPMENT
On the back of each visual, the basic story is given at two different proficiency levels. Both versions present expressions with do, make and get. The first version is a simpler one and uses the simple present tense. The second version is written in the past tense and includes additional sentence structures, expressions, and vocabulary. For example, the first version may have a sentence such as “The phone rings. Betty gets the phone. It’s David’s wife on the phone.” The second version shows “The phone rang. Betty got the phone. It was David’s wife on the line.” A corresponding set of comprehension questions accompanies each version of the story.
