4 Roll and Tell

The aim of the activity is to get students to talk about sequential series of past events. It is a group
activity enhancing students’ speaking, writing skills as well as imagination.

Materials and Preparation
A dice and the sheet to be displayed on the interactive board on page 74
As a preparation, the teacher makes the dice using the pattern on page 74. The teacher also displays the
sheet on the same page on the interactive board. Alternatively, using handouts is possible.

Procedure

1 Put students into groups of four or five, depending on the size of the class.
2 Ask a representative from each group to come to the board and roll the dice to learn which of the
given characters they will work on (according to the number the dice shows, they get a character out
of the six options given).
3 Let the representatives go back to the groups and give 10 minutes to each group in which they are
going to create the sequential series of past actions made up of at least 5 sentences. While creating
the series of sentences, they are going to use the character of the group and pick phrases from the
plot and the setting given. As for the phrases that are not visible in the plot and the setting, they are
going to come up with their own statements to create a meaningful series of sequential events.
4 Emphasize that they are supposed to use sequencers (first, next, then, after that, finally) as sentence
initiators.
5 Encourage them to make logical connections.
6 When the time is up, have the groups present their sentences to the whole class.
7 The longest chain of sentences with logical connections will be given a round of applause.
