(10 minutes)

the mystery riddle through WhatsApp. In pairs, using breakout rooms,
they will have to try to figure out a possible explanation:
Poisonous drinks
MarissaandJulianawentoutfordrinkstogether. They orderedthesame
drink. Juliana was really thirsty and finished five in the time it took
Marissa to finish one. The drinks werepoisoned, but only Marissa died.
How?
After listening to their possible explanations, I will providethe answer
if they aren’t able to come up with the correct answer.
Answer
The poison was in the ice. Since Marissa’s ice had time to melt, she was
poisoned but Juliana wasn’t.
Transition: “Very good, now let’s watch a video and try to solve more
mysteries”

6. I may just make a comment about the test. On the one hand, there are no
visual aids. On the other hand, you have only included one kind of activity
– gap-filling. Is it coherent with the way in which they are learning?
Each activity must be described in terms of the following components:
 Timing
 Activity description and instructions as they will be said to
students (include direct speech)
 Scaffolding strategies
 Transition comment to link each stage of the lesson with the next one
