IV. Blackboard Activity

Come out to the board, please (when the teacher is at the front of the class).

Go to the board (when the teacher is standing at the back of the class).

Move out of the way (step aside) so that everyone can see.

Is there anything to correct (that needs correcting)?

What letter is missing? There's a `k' missing (`k' is miss­ing).

Cross the 't's and dot the `i' s.

Write it with a capital `j' (it begins with a 'j').

Write it as one word (two words).

These two letters are the wrong way round.

Enclose the words in quotation marks (inverted commas), please.

Let's all read the sentences from the board.

Lights out, please. Switch on the projector.

Who would like to work (operate) the projector today?
