Tell ss we are going to play a game. Explain the rules " on one side of the room we will have for and on the other side we will have since. when I shout out the phrase decide where that fits in either for or since and run to the side you think is right". If you get an answer right that's one point. lets see who get the most points. Each ss remembers how many answers he got right. ICQs where do we go for since? Shout the phrases on the HO ex. 3 and after each phrase write the correct answer on the WB After the exercise tell the ss to copy the answers on the HO from the WB
