Guess+Who

You are stuck in a hole!

You don’t remember how you got there. You are not alone. There is very little light. There are some different objects at the bottom of the hole with you.


 * __Challenge one-Accounting for everyone__ **

Your first challenge is to find out who is down the hole with you. Be careful there may be villains in there with you! __Task 1__ You will all be given an identity card. You will see that some of the words are highlighted. Find out the meaning for those words and write them on one of the cards provided. Everyone must put their vocabulary cards on the table.
 * Step 1 **

__Task 2__ Your job is to play 20 questions to find out more about the others in the hole. You will need to keep track of your findings on the card provided. You can only answer yes or no to each questions so questions need to be worded carefully, in good English. __You may not use the words that are highlighted on the cards but must use a synonym when asking those questions.__ In order to do this, you must make sure you know what these words mean. Refer to the vocabulary cards on the table as needed.

Once you have used up your 20 questions you are done. Keep track of each other’s questions using a tally and don’t forget to take notes.

You are to write up a profile of the person you played 20 questions with. You will use your notes to do so. This profile must include a physical description as well as any other information you were able to collect. next. Share this with your opponent and compare notes.
 * Step 2 **

On your own profile card create a quick sketch or drawing to represent yourself based on your profile description

Write your name on the card and give it to the teacher.

Plenary: which words did you learn from today's lesson. If time permits play space race with words in Socrative on the ipads.
 * Your teacher will give you the room number.**




 * __Challenge 2-Useful Tools and Supplies__ **

This is a listening activity. You will need to listen to a description of the items that were found at the bottom of the hole. Listen carefully and try to figure out what these items are based on what you hear. You should take notes on anything you deem important.
 * Step 1 **

__ Pair and share __ Compare notes and conclusions with your partner. Add to your ideas by pooling the ideas you have each shared. Write these down!
 * Step 2 **

Now your pair should join with another pair. Again compare notes and conclusions writing down what you have found out. Do you all agree?

Listen to the recordings one last time. This will be your last chance to figure out what the items are.

You will now be shown a presentation of images representing these items. Tick off those you have correct and record those you didn’t guess. You will need these later to help you survive and get out of the hole!


 * __Challenge Three-Establishing Alliances__ **

You will need to work in teams in order to survive in the hole and hopefully find a way out. It is possible to break into two different teams or remain as one big team.

“There is strength in numbers.” What does this quote mean? Write down your ideas, you will be asked to discuss this with the class once you have your ideas written down.

Just because there is strength in numbers does that mean the majority are always right or not? How might this affect decision making in the hole?

How can you decide what to do? What are the benefits and disadvantages of staying together as one big group? What are the benefits of splitting into two groups?

Remember there may be a villain hiding in the group. They won’t reveal themselves to you. Be careful!

__** Decision time! **__

Wait! all of a sudden a paper airplane falls into the hole. It contains a riddle. Work out the riddle to determine who the villain is. You must use one of the items to secure the villain without hurting him/her. What will you choose? How will you do this?


 * __Challenge 4-Working as a Team to Get Out!__ **

Take note of the items you have with you. How might each be used to get out of the hole taking into account how many people you have with you and what their special talents are? Remember you must also get the villain out and cannot release them to do so.
 * Working in pairs **

Devise a plan. Record the setup as a diagram!

Share the diagrams. Which might actually work?

**Individually** Write up instructions based on the chosen method.

Share these with the group. Were they similar? What differences did you find?
