For the warm-up, students will practice how they say verbs with simple different subject pronouns. For example: I, she, he
من أجل الإحماء ، سيتدرب الطلاب على كيفية نطق الأفعال بضمائر موضوعات مختلفة بسيطة. على سبيل المثال: أنا ، هي ، هو
- You will have a couple of slides that have the verb (مصدر الفعل) and three pictures. The first describes the pronoun ‘I’, the second describes the pronoun ‘he’, and the last describes the pronoun ‘she’.
سيكون لديك شريحتان بهما الفعل (مصدر الفعل) وثلاث صور. يصف أحدهم الضمائر I ، ويصف الثاني الضمائر ، ويصف الأخير الضمائر هي.. - Using the slides, students will say the verb in present tense. For example: الأكل (هي تأكل، هو يأكل، أنا أأكل)
باستخدام الشرائح ، سيقول الطلاب الفعل في زمن المضارع.على سبيل المثال: الأكل (هي تأكل ، هو يأكل ، أنا أأكل)
Main Activity
- You will put students into two break-out rooms. Give them 3-5 minutes to come up with 5 verbs in Arabic.
سوف تضع الطلاب في غرفتين منفصلتين. امنحهم 3-5 دقائق للتوصل إلى 5 أفعال باللغة العربية. - Then come back as a class. From each team, one member will volunteer to act on the verb.
ثم عد ، من كل فريق يتطوع عضو واحد لتمثيل الفعل. - The other team will try to guess the verb and say it aloud.
They have about 1 minute to figure out the verb word.سيحاول الفريق الآخر تخمين الفعل وقوله بصوت عالٍ.لديهم حوالي 1 دقيقة لمعرفة كلمة الفعل. - After that, it’s the second team’s turn. They will repeat the same steps. بعد ذلك ، جاء دور الفريق الثاني. سوف يكررون نفس الخطوات.
- The lab assistant will track the time and team points for the students. The team who has more points is the winner.
If they end up with equal points, you can ask the teams to use verbs in one full sentence and write it on the whiteboard. The fastest team to do this is the winner.
سيحسب المساعد الوقت للطلاب ، ويكتب كل نقطة من نقاط الفريق. الفريق الذي لديه المزيد من النقاط هو الفائز.
إذا انتهى بهم الأمر بنقاط متساوية ، يمكنك أن تطلب من كلا الفريقين استخدام الأفعال في جملة واحدة كاملة وكتابتها على السبورة البيضاء. الفريق الأسرع يفعل ذلك ؛ هم الفائزون.
