1. Copy one handout for each pair of students, and cut the sheets in two.

2. Put the students into pairs, and distribute a half handout to each individual student.

3. Focus students' attentions on the instructions. Use the handout to lead into the topic of brainstorming. Have the learners match the sentence halves together to make principles by which brainstorming should/can be run. Explain to the learners that when they have matched the halves together they should discuss whether or not they agree with the principles and to use their experience and opinions to say why.

4. Allow students around ten minutes or until the conversation dies down to discuss the topic.

5. Finally, spend five minutes eliciting responses from some of the students and draw to their attention any appropriate vocabulary, and raise any serious language mistakes.
