PHRASAL VERBS: CARDS FOR "VISUAL" LEARNERS

Congratulations to my 4th year students who learnt 80!!! phrasal verbs in a really short period of time using the cards they made, which proves "visual learning" can be sometimes more effective than just reading and writing. How did they manage?

1. We went through a long list of 80 phrasal verbs. We read examples and made sure we understood the meaning and how to use the phrasal verb. 

2. Each student made 4 card of different phrasal verbs. They had to find images to illustrate the phrasal verbs. 

3. We formed groups of 3/4 students. For 30-40 minutes the groups shared the cards and tried to remember the phrasal verbs just looking at the cards. 

4. In the last 15 minutes the teacher checked how much students could remember by showing them the image of the phrasal verb. 

5. The result: we realised students had leant most of the 80 phrasal verbs!!!
