That’s Me / Not Me

Individual lesson

• Give the student several statement cards about everyday habits and situations.
• The student reads each statement and decides if it is true for them or not.
• They respond using “That’s me because…” or “Not me, I usually…” and give a short reason.
• Ask follow-up questions (e.g. “Why?”, “When?”, “How often?”) to extend their answers.
• Encourage the student to compare different statements and reflect on their habits.
• At the end, discuss which statements were the most interesting, surprising, or difficult to answer.
  

Pair / Group work (including breakout rooms)

• The teacher assigns one or more cards to each pair or group.
• Students work in pairs or small groups (2–4 students).
• They take turns reading the statements and responding.
• After each answer, partners react and ask simple follow-up questions (e.g. “Why?”, “When?”, “Really?”).
• They compare answers and find similarities and differences.

Class sharing

• Invite some students or groups to share interesting or surprising answers.
• Other students can react (“Same!”, “Me too!”, “Not me!”) or add their ideas.
• Focus on clear speaking and short reasons.

Extra ideas

• Find your match: find someone with similar answers.
• Most different: who is the most different in the group?
• Guess first: students guess the answer before their partner speaks.
