WRITING TIME
In this making predictions activity, students write imaginary
horoscopes for their classmates using the future simple form 'will'.
Students sit in a circle in groups of 11 or more. Give each student a
copy of the worksheet. The students write their name at the top of
the worksheet. Students then fold the worksheet as indicated so
their name cannot be seen and pass the paper to the student on
their right. Students complete the first sentence 'This week you
will go...' with a prediction. The students then fold the worksheet
so their sentence is hidden and pass it to the student on their
right. This process continues until all the sentences have been
completed. When the students have finished, they unfold the
worksheet and give the paper back to the person whose name is
at the top. This is their horoscope for the week. If there are any
predictions the students don't understand or think are
grammatically incorrect, they find the person who wrote the
sentence and have them correct it. Next, in groups of five or six,
students take it in turns to read their horoscope to the group. The
students then discuss the predictions and decide who will have
the most interesting week.
