13 Stupid criminals
Activity
Pairwork. Students reconstruct four crime stories from
separate pieces of text.
Focus
Theme: crimes.
Preparation
Photocopy one worksheet for each pair of students.
Procedure
Explain that students are going to reconstruct four stories
about some stupid criminals from separate pieces of text.
Divide the class into pairs. Hand out the worksheet to
each pair.
Ask students to discuss and agree what the original stories
are.
Check the answers with the whole class.
Answers
Story 1: j, q, o, a, k
Story 2: b, l, s, m, h
Story 3: r, g, f, c, n
Story 4: p, i, e, t, d
(N.B. A few sentences could arguably be in different
places.)
Variations
For weaker classes, make the task easier by telling
students the first part of each story and that there are five
parts to each story.
For stronger classes, make the task harder by letting
students work out for themselves how many stories there
are and how many parts there are to each.
