Portuguese Activity, proposed to first year high school students, about the use of whys. They are ten sentences for the student to complete correctly with the use of why appropriate. Then the difficulty level increases: they appear entrance exam style questions and ends with the creation of sentences using the whys. This type of activity is always valid. You can adapt it to other series as well. Students are often unsure about these spellings. Good job, teacher! 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is possible to download this Portuguese language activity in Word (template that can be edited) and in PDF (print ready template), the answered activity is also available.
