I wish or If only

Grammar activity ENG HUB Pro

For Offline Setting:

• Arrange the students into pairs or small groups.
• Provide each pair/group with a set of discussion questions. These can be on printed cards or a handout.
• Students take turns drawing a question to discuss within their pair/group. Encourage the use of 'I wish' or 'if only' in their responses, urge them to share personal insights, and emphasise the importance of actively listening to their partners' perspectives. Allocate a set amount of time for discussing each question to keep the activity dynamic.
• After discussing their questions, encourage students to mingle and form new pairs/groups to continue the discussions with different classmates.
• Conclude with a group discussion, allowing students to share interesting points or new perspectives they gained.

For Online Setting:

• Divide students into pairs or small groups using the breakout room feature.
• Provide the list of questions digitally, either through a shared document, send 1 card to each student or by posting them in the chat.
• In their breakout rooms, students should discuss the questions and answer using 'I wish' or 'if only,' taking turns to share their thoughts.
• Rotate the breakout rooms after a set period to allow students to discuss with different peers.
• Gather in the main room for a final discussion, encouraging students to share insights or interesting discussions from their breakout sessions.
