Step 2: Interactive Activities

1️⃣ Picture-Based Learning

🔹 Show images of different objects (apple, book, water, group of people) and ask:

• Teacher: "What do you see?"
• Student: "An apple."
• Teacher: "Now, if I eat it fully, should I say 'all' or 'whole'?"
• Student: "Whole!"

2️⃣ Fill in the Blanks

• I drank ___ the juice. (all/whole)
• ___ the students are here. (all/whole)
• She ate the ___ cake. (all/whole)
• He spent ___ his money. (all/whole)

(Let students guess and discuss why.)

3️⃣ Real-Life Connection (Role Play)

• Situation: A classroom discussion
  • Teacher: "Imagine you have a pizza. If you eat every slice, do you say 'I ate all the pizza' or 'I ate the whole pizza'?"
  • Student: "I ate the whole pizza!"
  • Teacher: "Right! And if you say 'all the pizza', it means every piece is gone, whether you ate it or not."

4️⃣ Challenge Game – "All or Whole?"

• Divide students into two teams.
• Show sentences and let them decide whether "All" or "Whole" fits.
• Give points for correct answers.

Step 3: Speaking Practice

1. Make students say daily life sentences using "all" & "whole."

   • "I finished the whole movie."
   • "All my friends are coming today."

2. Group Discussion – Ask:

   • "Can we use 'whole water'? Why or why not?"
   • "Can we say 'all the apple'? Why or why not?"
