Subject: English
Level: Low-intermediate (CEFR level: A2 - B1)
SOLO taxonomy level : Unistructural (Define, identify, name, draw, find, label, match, follow a simple procedure)
Skills: Speaking
Learning objectives:
a) Recall events of the novel
b) Explain the definition of the words based on the context of the novel
c) Give the the correct word based on the explanation of the word
c) Speak confidently in the front of the class
Rules of the game:
1. Every group will be given 5 vocabularies
related to Captain Nobody (or any text that you is find appropriate).
2. The representative of the group will
give the definition of the words based on the context of Captain Nobody.
3. If one of the opposing groups can guess
the word based on the definition, they will obtain 10 points. But the
presenting group does not obtain any points.
4. If none of the opposing groups can provide the answer, the presenting group obtains 10 points.
5. The presenting group will only have 1
minute to explain the definition. Within that 1 minute, the opposing groups
will try to give the answer. If no correct answers were given by the opposing
groups within that 1 minute, 10 points will be given to the presenting group.
6. Students must put up their hands if they
want to provide the answer, if not 5 points will be deducted. (Classroom management strategy)
7. The game will be played for 5 rounds (but this depends on the time that you have for a lesson). Each
group defines 1 vocabulary for every round. Get every student in the group to present the definition.
Procedure:
1. Divide the students into groups of 5.
2. Teacher gives the 5 vocabularies to every group (this
is the limit for a 2 period (40 minutes each period) lesson).
3. Teacher gives students 20-30 minutes to discuss how
they plan to give the definition based on the context of Captain Nobody.
4. After 20 minutes, the game will start.
