How does a conversation flow? Have your learners practice with conversation and dialogue by asking them to rearrange sentence strips in order to make a coherent conversation between two people. After ordering the strips, pairs listen to the conversation read out loud to check their responses and practice conversing by talking about another city.

Instructional Ideas

• In addition to the conversation held at the end of the plan, have learners create their own dialogues for other pupils to unscramble
• Since the conversation is about Mexico City, use this resource when covering cities in general

Classroom Considerations

• While the audio recording mentioned in the resource is not included, you can easily create your own key and simply read it out loud
• The spelling of dialog in the title is an acceptable spelling in the US; however, dialogue is the more widely used spelling 

Pros

• Comes with sentence strips that you can easily copy and cut out

Cons

• Does not include the audio recording mentioned in the procedures
