Asking for Advice (8 cards)
I have just had some of my best lessons ever with my 7th and 9th grade using these cards – this really got them talking!
To use the cards, divide your student’s in groups of 3-5. They are now taking part in a radio show where people call in to get an advice.
Each group has a pile of cards and draws the first one. The card presents a problem and at the bottom of the card there are 3 roles. The students can agree on which role each group member plays or they can take turns being A, B or C. If they are more than 3 in the group, the last two will simply decide what their opinion is.
They now discuss the problem “on the air” and this radio show is famous for leading to heated discussions!
I think it’s a good idea to set a time limit for the discussion, e.g. 3 minutes.
You might also ask the groups to turn their discussion into a role play which they can perform for the class.
And finally, the cards can be used as a writing task.
I will prepare some more cards within the next few days.
Have fun!
