LESSON WARM UP - REVERSING TEXT - GIVING ADVICE PHRASES


TEACHER'S CORNER:

How about a brain teaser for a warm-up?
Reverse a text and give your students some brain workout.

The best thing about this idea is that it has multiple uses:
⇢ vocabulary presentation,
⇢ grammar examples or rules,
⇢ phrases for writing,
⇢ whole emails to decode,
⇢ phrases for speaking,
⇢ whole dialogues to decode,
⇢ introductory paragraphs for reading practice,
⇢ random words in the text,
⇢ whatever comes to your mind.



To give the idea a tangible shape, let's focus on 'giving advice' phrases warm-up exercise.
The instruction is:

DECODE THE PHRASES. FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON.

a. Yhw nod't uoy
b. Evah uoy deirt
c. Fi I erew ni ruoy ecalp
d. I dluow tseggus
e. I kniht uoy dluohs



And NO! You don't have to reverse the letters by yourself.
You have the Internet to do that for you.
There are plenty of others but just to start with something, try this tool:




The tool will help you to
⇢ reverse the letters of a word in the whole text:               txet elohw eht esrever
⇢ reverse the letters of a word in each line:                       enil txet hcae esrever
⇢ reverse the word order in the whole text:                       lettering word the reversing without
⇢ reverse the word order in each line:                               line text each of order word
⇢ reverse the letters of each word                                      tuohtiw gnignahc eht drow redro
⇢ ʇxǝʇ uʍop ǝpısdn uɐ ɟo uoısnןןı ǝɥʇ ǝʇɐǝɹɔ ןןıʍ
