The box.
A lesson plan
Stimulus - Warm up game.
Using a scarf and the box, two students stand with their right toes together, they must not
move their right feet. One has the scarf tied to his right wrist, the other has the box in the
palm of her right hand. They must each try and grab the others possession. Try this with
several pairs for 10mins inside a circle.
Model
Place the box in a container of some sort and ask for a volunteer. Brief the student. The
postman is collecting the mail and under no circumstances must he give up any of the
mail. TIR enters the scene having posted the box by mistake and tries to persuade the
postman to give it back. Improvise scene.
Pair work.
With a partner prepare a version of the above scene. Share a few of the scenes.
Small groups.
The postman decides he wants to know what is in the box and so takes it home. After a
discussion with friends in the pub or family at home they open it. In small groups show
the discovery of the contents in a frozen image. Share these and evaluate with the class.
