This worksheet was originally used as part of an enrichment activity to supplement a unit on animals in the New Parade 2 (elementary school) ESL textbook. At this stage, the students had already acquired an extensive vocabulary on animals and activities that certain animals can and cannot do. The grammar point exercised in this worksheet is can/can't. It is recommended that the grammar point be taught prior to handing out this worksheet. In this way, the students can synthesize the vocabulary (animals/activities) as well as the grammar point can/can't in a comprehensive way. This also provides an excellent opportunity for writing at the elementary level and student work can be showcased for colleagues and parents to see. Once students are finished, they can present their work to their peers and as it reinforces student accomplishment.
