There were 12 turtles seen, and four were the biggest kind.

– News Reporter Role-play
Instructions: Students pair up and take turns being a news reporter and an eyewitness. The reporter asks the eyewitness about their experience with the jellyfish sighting. The eyewitness uses phrases from the article to describe what they saw. Encourage beginners to use simple present tense and past tense verbs, such as "see," "is," "like," and "come."
– Opinion Poll
Instructions: Write a series of statements about the article on the board (e.g., "The sea is getting warmer," "There are more jellyfish," "We need to learn more about sea animals"). Students walk around the room and ask their classmates if they agree or disagree with each statement, practicing simple phrases such as "Do you think…?" and recording the number of agreements and disagreements.
– Vocabulary Pictionary
Instructions: Write down key vocabulary words from the article on slips of paper (e.g., "jellyfish," "beaches," "computer," "turtles"). Divide the class into two teams. Players take turns drawing the words for their team to guess, without speaking or writing letters or numbers. Set a time limit for each turn. This helps students associate the words with images and reinforces their meaning.
– Sketch It
Instructions: Give students a copy of the article and ask them to draw scenes based on the text. For example, they might draw jellyfish in the sea, people using computers and phones, or the west side of the UK. After drawing, have them label each part of their sketch with vocabulary words from the article, which helps with word recognition and spelling.
– Future Predictions
Instructions: Have students write down predictions about what they think will happen with the jellyfish and the sea in the future, based on the article. For example, "There will be more jellyfish next year," or "The sea will get even warmer." Students can then share their predictions with the class, and the teacher can correct language errors and introduce future tense structures.
