JOINT STATEMENT:
Students must form groups of four. Two pairs of students (A &
B and
C & D) must agree on the answers to the questions. They then change partners (A & C and B &
D) and answer using their previously agreed upon answers. Change partners again to partner the
student they haven’t yet spoken to (A & D and B & C).
In this final partnering,
students must
clarify each other’s answers to their questions – “So your answer to question 1 was …”.
LONG TIME NO SEE ROLE PLAY:
Students A pretend they are long-time friends of
the
main character in the article (Students B). The scenario is that the two friends, who have not met
for
many years, suddenly bump into each other. They must catch up with all their latest news.
They must talk about the past, what it’s like to be president / an actor etc, plus the issue in the
news item.
TEN THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT ME:
Students make up ten things the
world didn’t know about the character from the text. Change partners and share and compare the
things they wrote down. How plausible are they?
