I tried out these build up exercises with a group of beginner students (level A1-A2). The task was a traditional build up task with focus on word order. The sentences were taken from an easy reading book, which is part of the curriculum and I asked the students to arrange the words into a correct sentence. The students came up with many different solutions to word order and I tried to encourage them to check the sentences from what they already knew about word order. Many sentences had more solutions, some with or without inversion, so some students came up with alternative word order. Unfortunately I don't have examples on the incorrect word order the students produced, but that is something that would be good to record to see the process. I didn't go to the next step of defining word classes and their place in the sentences, but that is a possible third step. Any other ideas on how this task encourages thinking?
