Me Neither
A. Fill in the gaps with information that is true for you.
B. Find one person in the class who agrees with each of your negative statements.
Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each student.
Procedure
Working alone, students complete the sentences with information that is true for them.
When they have finished, go through how to agree with negative statements with the class.
Give the students some agreeable negative statements and ask them to respond, e.g.
Neither am I, Nor would I, Neither did I, etc.
Once the students are ready, let them move round the classroom saying their sentences to
one another.
Students must try to find one person in the class who agrees with each of their negative
statements.
When a student agrees with another student’s sentence, they must respond using an
appropriate expression and the other student writes their name in the second column on the
worksheet.
Example:
If Student B doesn’t agree with the sentence, they respond by saying what they have written
for the same prompt, e.g. I'm not very interested in football. Student B then waits to see if
Student A agrees with their statement.
When two students have both found something they agree on (and written each other’s
names on their worksheet) they move on and find new partners.
The activity continues until they have all completed the second column on their worksheet.
At the end of the activity, have a class feedback session to see what the students found out.
