The teacher will divide the class into four groups (A, B, C, and D).
Each group will get 2,000 DHs fake money.
The teacher will distribute some white cards (1 given for each group) to write their group name on it.
The teacher will distribute the rules of each student in the group (one is holding the moneybag, another is holding the white card and answer, one will pass the money to the teacher, and the last one will keep the correct sentences cards).
The teacher will give each group two sentences to practice bidding before the actual auction starts (green boxes in the materials).
The bid start with 100 DHs and the other groups should increase it by 100 DHs.
The sentence will be sold to the highest bidder (eg. 600 DHs going once, 600 DHs going twice, 600 DHs sold to group A).
The teacher will start the actual auction by giving each group 10 sentences (mixture of correct and incorrect ones)
Students in group will decide about how much do they want to spend, and which one of those sentences are correct and incorrect.
The winner will be the group which has the highest number of correct sentences.
The teacher will keep the incorrect sentences for the next class, and ask the students to hold on that point.
In the next class, the teacher will ask the group if they can correct the incorrect sentences, and they will receive bonus on that.
The teacher will show the sentences on the smart-board by using a PowerPoint.
While that the students can mark and correct the mistakes on each sentence before the teacher says it by their own sheet of all of the incorrect sentences.
The teacher will use the pen of the smart-board to highlight and underline the mistakes on each sentence by the students’ help.
During that, the teacher will give the students some oral feedback about their performance in considering accuracy.
Winners receive prizes at the end, and the rest should be reinforced by some good words.
