Examples
General: Tongue twisters, vocabulary, dictations, dialogues, debates, songs, puzzles, interviews, and brainstorming.
Higher Grades: Jokes (language play), "Bartisms" (chalkboard sentences for grammar practice), and passive voice drills.
Basic Education: Rubber band stress exercises, shoebox storage, birthday rewards, guessing games, and folders for student work.
Warm-up Activities: Word puzzles with school-related vocabulary.
Reading Activities

Assigning readings from various media to practice language skills.
Language analysis for stress and intonation.
Tongue Twisters as Didactic Activities

Unit 2: Didactic Activities
Objectives
Master the use of practices, questionnaires, vocabularies, dictations, and reviews.
Apply these activities effectively in teaching.
Design

Plays: Assign students roles (actors, decorators, wardrobe) to perform a scene.
Analysis
Panels: Improve speaking and teamwork while debating controversial topics.

Teams locate and ring words or letters on the whiteboard.
Analysis
Murals: Promote creativity and teamwork, with an emphasis on creativity over perfection.
Evaluate aspects like theme, presentation, and cooperation.
Homework: Helps apply acquired knowledge and may vary in evaluation.
