The teacher informs the students before the lesson that they have to bring something that they can talk about. It can be anything as long as there is a little story behind it and important to the student. This activity can be done in different ways.
In pairs
The student talks about his or her object and why it is important. The other student asks questions about the object. When the time is up they switch.
In a small group
One student in the group starts to talk about his or her object and why it is important. The other students ask questions. When the time is up a new student starts to talk about his or her object.
In front of the class
The students talk about the object in a short presentation of 1-2 minutes, depending on the level. The other students listen and can ask some follow-up questions.
