LISTENING
LISTENING
EDUCATOR:
Tape a series of sounds in random order, so that when sequenced correctly, they will “tell” the story of a break-in.(e.g. dog barking; footsteps on gravel; broken glass; match being struck; drawers/doors opening and closing; alarm; running footsteps on gravel).Ask learners to close their eyes and listen carefully to the sounds.
Instructions
Your teacher will play a sound recording to which you must respond in the frame on the next page.
Close your eyes and listen carefully.
List the sounds you remember.
Listen once again.
Add to your list or make changes if necessary.
Decide what the sounds are “telling” you - what have you just witnessed with your ears?
Arrange the sounds in the order that the events would have taken place.
Check your ideas with those in your group.
SPEAKING
Set up a list of ten questions that you, as a detective, would ask a suspect brought in for questioning. Use the next page for this purpose.
Hints
You know the answers to the questions relating to when the crime was committed, what the eyewitness saw, fingerprints found, etc.
Formulate your questions so that a YES or NO answer is impossible.
Make use of your voice to be authoritative.
| LO 5.2.1 |
Role-play
Working with a partner, take turns to be either the suspect or the detective.
| LO 2.1.5 |
Police Report
Using the information you put together from the sound effects on page three, write up a short report about the Break In. Keep the following in mind:
This is a formal report and therefore only the FACTS must be reported.
Make use of STATEMENTS only.
Be sure to use the proper PUNCTUATION.
| LO 4.1.2 | LO 6.2.5 |
The house next door to the Smiths has just been burgled.
Grandma Smith called 10111 and when the policemen arrived, they wanted to find out what the robbers looked like. Sergeant Daniels asked Grandma Smith to circle the words in the list below that best described each robber.
| ROBBER 1 | ROBBER 2 | ||
| Height | tall short | Height | tall short |
| Hair | blonde dark curly straight long short | Hair | blonde dark curly straight long short |
| Eyes | blue brown slanted round almond-shaped | Eyes | blue brown slanted round almond-shaped |
| Nose | long short hooked flat broken | Nose | long short hooked flat broken |
| Ears | large small pointed pierced | Ears | large small pointed pierced |
| Clothes | neat scruffy dirty | Clothes | neat scruffy dirty |
All the words you have circled are called ADJECTIVES.
Mrs Smith arrived home to comfort Grandma Smith and to help the sergeant draw up a list of stolen items. The list needed to be precise. Choose adjectives from the list of words in column two, to make identification of the stolen goods easier.
