Activity 8
• Here we include the answers
to the riddles in the Reader’s
Book. We did not include them
in the book itself, in order to
avoid unwanted spoilers. Give
your students time to read and
reach the answer by themselves
and only give the answer as a
last resort: 1. The doctor in the
operating room is the mother of
the patient. 2. Just one, Pierre. 3.
He was driving in broad daylight.
4. Motorbikes. 5. Because the
river was almost dry.
• RB Box can either extend the
current practice or provide
material for developing it. If
you have enough material, take
time during the practice to go
through the Reader’s Book to
foster curiosity and improve
reading skills.
• IT box icons appear frequently
in the practices with suggested
websites. We recommend you
visit the websites before the
session to check whether the
contents proposed are useful
for your class planning and to
anticipate questions from your
students.
• Use this opportunity to explain:
- What a URL is (Uniform Resource Locator): it is the specific address of a website. It can include words,
abbreviations, numbers, punctuation marks, etc.
- What a search engine is: it is a resource to look for websites using keywords.
Activity 9
• Your students may remember the selection criteria established in many other practices. Criteria should be
flexible enough to allow the inclusion of different types of texts (in this case, riddles), but also rigid enough
to exclude texts that may not be suitable.
Activity 10 Building-stage
• Help your students focus on attitudinal issues when sharing their personal anecdotes, such as how to be an
attentive listener, how to express ideas assertively and how to engage effectively without taking time from others.
• Remind your students to have several anecdotes ready, so that they have a wide variety of anecdotes to choose
from. If you know other anecdotes besides the ones in the Reader’s Book, share them with your students.
Activity 11
• Your students can ask as many questions as needed. Help them stay focused on the topic and not drift
away from the relevant questions. This does not mean there are questions that shouldn’t be asked, but it is
important to decide whether they add to the discussion or are distractions. It is even better if your students
can self-regulate without your intervention.
