55Maintain the ConversationLaura Terrill, Fort Bend ISD 2014Students try to keep the conversation going on a single topic by asking questions and commenting on their partners responses. Each student has an envelope of questions related to the topic to pull out when they get stuck. At the end of the time limit, students want to be the partner who pulled out the fewest questions, signaling the partner who best sustained the conversation.

What do you like to do? What do you usually do in summer, winter, etc?What do you do when you have an evening at home?What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?What chores do you have to do at home?When do you usually study? How often do you fix dinner? What do you cook? 66
