Activity 2
• These practices, as you may
have noticed, allow you to work
in a contextualized fashion with
formal content about grammar
and phonetics, and to delve
further in on them. You may want
to check either how students
compose their questions
(especially if they are using
more complex structures with
two or more verbs in the same
question such as: Do you think
rabbits eat their way through the
fence?), or how they pronounce
questions. You may check either
the pronunciation of specific
sounds, or prosodic features
such as rhythm and intonation.
• Despite the focus on formal
details, remind yourself and
your students that the aim of
this practice is how they can
use language to have some
fun. Remember, you have more
practices throughout the year to
help your students achieve
B1 level.

• Provide enough time for
sharing the questions and
for re-reading the riddle if
necessary. Form your students
into teams that allow more
proficient students to help those
Activity 3 who are less proficient.
• In this practice, we will provide the answers to the riddles, but we insist on keeping them secret up to
the point at which everyone has given up.
• If necessary, have your students take a look at the illustration for an additional clue as to how to solve
the riddle.
• By the way, the answer to the riddle in Activity 1 is that the burrow was always there, so when the fence
was built, it was built around the burrow.
• Ask your students if they have ever answered riddles such as the one in Activity 1, what they found to
be the most and least complex parts of solving them, and the strategies they employed.
Activity 4
• When there is a track to be played, you should have a sound check before starting. That way, your
students will be able to decide whether they will need to rearrange their chairs. T
• Remember, it is best to arrange the chairs in a horseshoe shape and put the CD player in the center. If
possible, get some additional speakers instead of turning the volume all the way up, because it tends to rack 34
distort the voices.
