Post 340 / Vocabulary 002

Oftentimes students of mine come to me
asking about a particular kind of pen that their parents or grandparents have
hidden in a drawer of their desks; for sure you understand that it is a
fountain pen that probably comes into your mind. Based on this experience of mine,
exposing learners to other kind of vocabulary regarding types of pens, I have
decided to post some ideas about this.
Having some simple discussion
questions when dealing with pens, a good warm up is to have them discuss a bit
about their preferences when it comes to using pens to write.
1) In
your opinion, what kind of pens are good for high schoolers?
2) What sort
of pen is good for a birthday present? What do you recommend?
3) What
do you think it’s the cheapest type of pen you can buy?
4) What’s
a stylus pen for? Are they easy to find in bookstores?
5) If you
want to write something on a birthday card, what’s the best pen choice?
A
second option is to have them recognize or identify types of pens. Why don’t
you provide them with a little (digital or paper) handout where you simply write
the names and students do look for (or even draw) the types of pens you are
requesting?
