So for example, in 5thand 6thgrade, if we are learning classroom vocabulary we will also learn or review phrases for asking if you have an item and replying in the affirmative and negative, as well as asking if you can borrow one, or if there is such and such an item in your book bag. By using those few question and answer phrases, we are repeating the key vocabulary in several different and useful scenarios. But useful though they are, those scenarios are largely fake. Students don't actually need the items at the time they are asking for them, and they don't have any real reason to know if their classmates have them. It is just an exercise in language. And it's a good one! Although the set up as it stands is largely successful, at times it can get a little too focused on vocabulary-building and questions seemingly plucked from the sky.
