FIND SOMEONE WHO Clothing and Fashion - Find Someone Who

Uploaded by James

Elementary to intermediate speaking and grammar practice focused on clothing and fashion. Learners complete a “Find someone who” interview activity using yes/no questions with Do/Did and Are/Were forms (present and past). Students ask classmates questions about items of clothing, accessories, and recent actions, recording names and extra details when answers are “Yes.” If classmates answer “No,” the corresponding box remains empty and another student may later provide a “Yes.” Two classroom-friendly versions support different management styles and include guided wrap-up sharing.

Lead-in
Lead-in to this activity with a quick review of ‘Yes/No’ questions with verbs (‘Do’ and ‘Did’) and ‘be’ verbs (‘Are’ and ‘Were’)– both present and past forms.
􀁸 Do/Did you + verb
􀁸 Are/Were you + noun/adjective/preposition (with place)
‘FIND SOMEONE WHO’ Activity – Version 1
Distribute one activity handout to each learner. Have your students stand and find different classmates to interview. When a classmate answers ‘Yes’, the interviewer should write the classmate’s name and ask for and record additional information. For example:
A. Are you wearing a gold necklace?
B. Yes, I am.
A. (writes classmate’s name in the box) Where did you buy it?
B. I bought it at a department store.
A. (writes this information in the box)
When a classmate answers with ‘No’, the interviewer should the leave box empty. Another classmate may later answer ‘Yes’ for this question.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to model this activity with a student. Consider using the board to write a similar conversation as above.
‘FIND SOMEONE WHO’ Activity – Version 2
Although not the‘traditional’ Find Someone Who activity procedure, I find this second version more interesting and easier to manage in class.
In this version, students are allowed to ask one classmate one question (excluding follow-up questions)– and the answer, no matter ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, is written in the box. After a mutual interview exchange, students can move on to find another classmate to speak with.
‘Version 2’ guarantees that every box can be filled, and that students will not stick with just one classmate in an attempt to find a ‘Yes’ answer.
Wrap-up
Wrap-up either version by having your learners sit down in pairs or groups of three and share the information they collected. Finally, elicit any especially interesting information your learners may have discovered. | Permission granted to reproduce for classroom use. © [www.allthingstopics.com](www.allthingstopics.com)
