1 Procedure: • The class will be divided into two groups. Students ask questions and score points by forming and using noun clauses to give noncommittal responses. Students take it in turns to roll the dice and move their counter along the board. When a student lands on a square that contains a scrambled question, they unscramble the question and ask it to the group members. • The other group members then race to form a noncommittal response to the question using one of the sentence frames in the bank and a noun clause. The first student to answer an appropriate and grammatically correct response and say the reply wins. • If it is the first time the winner has used that particular sentence frame, they score two points. If the winner has used that sentence frame previously, they score one point. The first student to reach the 'finish' square scores an extra three points and the game ends. The student with the highest score wins. 2 get who should assignment this? 8 to the party I should who invite? 10 9 chicken the road did why the cross? in love her with he isn't, is he? 6 12 Go forward one space 17 16 Oh no!
