Create Your Own Organization ; Create your own _____ : Communicative Follow Up

(TESOL Ideas--Communicative Follow Up)

Sample: docs, pub
Addendum: Create your own ______: docs, pub

A reliable communicative follow up which can be used for many reading/listening texts is to have students create their own organization based on the topic of the text.
An example is here.   This is a communicative follow up to a listening text from Reflect Listening & Speaking 5Unit 2Video: A New Approach p.28-31.  The video was about companies that were creating sustainable alternatives to fast fashion.  A suitable communicative follow up, therefore, was to have students create their own ideas for alternative companies.
Feedback for this activity could be either students presenting their ideas to the class, or the ideas being posted around the room and doing a gallery walk.  Students could then vote on which organization they thought had the best plan.

Addendum: A modified version of this activity is to just create your own whatever.  So, here is an example of a communicative follow up from Impact 4, Unit 7, Video: Sanga’s Solution p.120-121.  The listening activity is about an invention that Sanga creates, so for the communicative follow up, the students have to create their own invention: docspub
