Who am I?
Choose your role.
Create a mini biography.
Doctor: confidence level?, how many problem patients today?, hours worked?
Patient: how many times have you seen a doctor about this? , how long waiting?
How do you feel? Why? Before conversation? Later?
Exchange, read, speak.

Not me, you!
Brainstorm your ideas.
Take an object.
How can you hand over the conversation?
What do you think? Do you agree? How about…?
I really don’t think…, but maybe you do?
Speak, pass on object. Don’t be last person speaking!

Reflection
Choose 1 or 2 speaking activities you’ve done in the last
school year. Could you adapt them using these ideas?
Do you often include stages like these? Why (not)?
What other support do/could you give your students to
help them:
prepare to speak?
speak for longer?
repeat activities in a varied way?
have a clear reason to listen?
