Sorting Activity for Reporting Verbs

(TESOL Worksheets--Reporting Verbs)
Google: docs, pub
[This is a sorting activity I used for Unit 6, Listening Skill: Understand Reporting Verbs p.98 from Reflect Listening & Speaking 5.  The choice of reporting verbs reflects the textbook, as does the categorization.  In the textbook this information is given to the students in a grammar box, but the teachers book suggested that this information could be make more engaging for students by having them categorize the verbs on their own first, and then check their answers with the grammar box.  And I agreed.  So I developed this little worksheet.  
The word cards are cut up and shuffled before class.  In pairs, students place the word cards  in the correct box.  
I think this activity could also stand on its own as an independent resource, so I'm posting it here as well.]
