Jigsaw interview with the structure “Would you rather…?” and second conditional “if”

I wanted to come up with a creative lesson for high school students combining speaking, writing and grammar skills together with student-created authentic materials. Luckily I found an useful resource from this link(http://lessonstream.org/2015/08/31/would-you-rather) and combined this with student-oriented jigsaw interview as follows.

1. Watching the video

• Ss watch the video to get the gist
• T suggests the target structure of the conversation
• Ss watch the video again focusing on target structures

2. Presenting sample questions and answers

• T presents sample questions and answers to Ss
• T informs Ss the activity procedure and makes sure Ss understand it

3. Making up questions

• Each group makes one interesting interview question with target structures
• T provides post-its to each group

4. Interviewing students

• Ss move to their jigsaw groups and interview other Ss
• Ss write down the interview results on post-its
• T monitors and takes note of what Ss say focusing on target structures

5. Writing class survey reports

• Ss come back to their original groups
• T presents some examples of what Ss say and asks Ss to improve it
• T gives class survey report sheets to each group
• Ss collect the post-its and complete the survey report sheet with full sentences
• T monitors and gives help to lower-level Ss
• T gives a notice for the next class
