Transformed the matching task into a blank filling task using Canva

 After the previous Matching task (see last post), I wanted to create a blank-filling task for students to type out the verb phrases ('would buy' vs 'will stay'). This is slightly more demanding than the previous exercise. 

Instead of starting anew, I returned to Canva, and asked it to transform the matching task into a blank-filling task. 

MY PROMPT: 

Please now turn the above matching exercise into a blank-filling exercise. The exercise will contain 6 of the above sentences, and 2 new sentences. Give students the first part of each sentence (e.g., If I were a bird,), and turn  the verb phrase of the second part (e.g., would fly) into a word box for students to type in the answers. When students have finished the exercise, they should be able to check their answers.

- Again, Canva did quite a good job.
