Productive Task 2 (20-25 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills

GAME SETUP * Tell the SS: A murder was committed last night at 11 o'clock. The body was found in the garden (X marks the spot). They were all in the house - their names are on the list of people beside the house plan. You should find out who did the murder. * To do this, the SS will have to find out where everyone was at 11 o'clock. * Give every student a house plan (app 6). * Demonstrate how to do this by projecting the house plan (app 6) on the board. * Give them a role card (app 7) each. * Go to one strong student and ask, 'What's your name? Where were you at 11 o'clock? Who was with you?' * Write the names in on the plan as she tells you. * Then ask the SS all to stand up and go on asking people and writing names. * The SS should stand up and move around the class asking everybody where they were at 11 o'clock. * When they find out, they should write the names on the plan. * Give the SS about 10 minutes to do this, then ask them to get together in fours. * They should check their plans with each other and pool their information to find who the murderer was. Who isn't there? Who has left the house? (JANE)
