A simple way to teach it

  1. Review the vocabulary and ask learners to identify word-family patterns.
  2. Learners complete the gap-fill individually, then compare in pairs.
  3. Use the discussion questions to personalise the target vocabulary.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
