Pair-Practice activities involve learners being organized into pairs for learning tasks that require back-and-forth communication between 2 people. For 1-on-1 lessons with only 1 student, the activities can be practiced by the student and the instructor.
Primary Required Files
The following files (in the quantities specified) are necessary for students to be able to practice this Deduction Challenge activity version.
Secret Cards
A Secret Card Deck can be created with the 24 cards in the Weather Cards Set A.
1 deck of 24 cards will be sufficient for simultaneous use by up to 48 participants (or 24 partner-pairs).
For the best long-lasting durability, print, cut, and then laminate each individual card. This should allow for years of regular use, even by younger learners.
Each partner-pair participating in this speaking activity will need their own Deduction Panel.
The weather type/temperature combinations on Deduction Panel A match all of the weather type/temperature combinations in Card Set A.
Each Deduction Panel printable provides 3 copies of Deduction Panel. Each can be cut out along the provided dotted cut-lines.
If the Deduction Panel is laminated, learners can use an erasable whiteboard marker to systematically cross off the 24 possibilities until only 1 weather type/temperature combination remains.
For learners who have basic reading skills, using a Cheat Sheet allows them to learn the vocabulary words WHILE they are practicing the speaking activity.
