This is an idea I've seen on Twitter a few times, but I'm unsure whose idea it was originally, so I don't know who to credit / thank. If you know whose idea it is please let me know! I tried this with both of my Year 9 classes the first lesson back after the 6 week holiday. I just gave them the emoji mind map (just an image copied from Google onto a Word doc, nothing fancy really - download below). I then gave them about 15-20 minutes to annotate the page with as many words or phrases as they could remember in the TL completely from memory. I told them this was their opportunity to really show off what they know and encouraged them to use tenses, opinions etc. where possible. It's a great way to get to know a new class and my students seemed to really get stuck into it. I'm sure they would have written even more, had I given them more time. I then collected them in and highlighted any errors as per our department policy. It was really interesting seeing what they could come up with after a 6 week break and I was impressed by their responses! By the way, I recently shared the above images on Twitter, my Facebook page and the fantastic Global Innovative Language Teachers group on Facebook. I said I would send it to anyone who sent me their email address. I have had a crazy amount of responses and it would take me so long to email you all, so I thought I'd save myself a bit of time by putting it on here instead. Apologies to anyone who sent me their email address!
