Goal of the Activity: 
Build a robot with friends!
Length of Activity (minutes): 
50
Rules/Explanation: 

This is an activity which uses the relative pronoun. Can be used with "which" and "that".

I usually draw a robot and fill in my own sentences on the board with my JTE. It's good for showing them how many options they have:

"...which is...
... which can...
... which has...
... which are...
... which makes..."
etc.

Plan your lesson around how long you think it'll take them to finish drawing. I give them 15-25 minutes to draw and write sentences, checking when they finish writing. Next, get some magnets so you can pin them to the blackboard, and get each group to present their robot by reading their robot's name and their sentences. If you want, you can ask them to vote on which one they like the most (can't vote for their own robot).

Happy building!
