A thread of mistakes…

Do your students make the same mistakes on and on? Are they really consistent in this area? Well, mine are. Somehow, some spelling mistakes sink in and I have found it really hard to get rid of them.

I have found this activity that is, in my opinion, both fun and memorable. You only need some paper, a pen, some thread, cards, and groups of three or four students willing to have fun.

Write cards with the words you want to correct on them. In my groups, students tend to write writting*. Each group is given three or four cards.

They need to reflect on the mistake they usually make.

Finally, they need to write the word correctly as shown in the video.
