Teaching Ideas

Overview | Individual Work | Group Work

Individual Work

The teacher can choose which words to omit depending on the learning task. Words can be deleted randomly (every nth word) or using specific criteria, e.g. adjectives, conjunctions or facts.

So students:

  • Can show knowledge of a subject, e.g. history or science
  • Can check their own knowledge of a subject
  • Can practise using particular language
  • Can be encouraged to consider the effectiveness of a particular word within a sentence
  • Can practise a skill taught in a lesson, e.g. using past/present verb tenses
  • Are encouraged to use the context of a passage, e.g. they can find the correct word by reading on

ClozePro and effective independent work

ClozePro features that encourage or help students to work independently are:

  • Speech - they can listen to the passage and the missing words
  • Prompts - you can set up different prompts depending on the ability of the student
  • Different gap styles - these give clues to students and you can change the style of the gaps for the same exercise according to each student's ability, for differentiation (equal length gaps for all words; gaps that show the word length; asterisks to show the number of letters; blurred gaps to show the shape of the words, or less blurred gaps for a word matching exercise)
  • Changing the number of missing words displayed - you can limit the number of words for students who need more help and display more words for other students, but use the same exercise, for differentiation

Worksheets

You can print out worksheets for follow-up activities, or to have activities without the support features mentioned above, or for homework.
