Figure it out! – Speaking and Writing Activity – Intermediate

The teacher asks the students to sit in a circle and hand them one “evidence” card each.
Then, she hands them a “deduction” card and asks them to write down on it what conclusion
they can draw from the evidence they were given.
When the students have written their sentences using modals of deduction, she asks
them to take the “evidence” cards and pass them twice to the right side. Then she tells them to
take their “deduction” card and pass them twice to the left side.
At this point, they should have an evidence card and a deduction card that don’t match.
Each student reads his/ her pair of cards and has fun.
After that, they have to find the right pairs again and see if there can be more than one
possible combination of cards.
