Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Recognize and define 13 phrasal verbs formed with 'keep,' distinguishing literal from metaphorical meanings.
Use the target phrasal verbs correctly in fill-in-the-blank sentences and original writing.
Classify phrasal verb sentences as transitive/intransitive and separable/inseparable.
Teaching tips
Review the definitions and example sentences page before Exercise 1, since several phrasal verbs (like 'keep up' and 'keep back') carry both a literal and a metaphorical meaning that students need to distinguish.
Exercise 2's image-matching task works well as a pair or small-group activity, since students must also compose an original sentence for each matched image.
Save Exercise 4's conversation questions for a speaking-focused class session, since they're open-ended and personal rather than answer-key based.
