JMU student and 1~2 middle school students. JMU counselor is

helper.
3. And then everyone will answer quizzes quickly. Fast student can
go in as first (first student can get more clues than other students.)
4. Now lets go in and get clues
5. And then we move to other room and sit around
6. Based in the clues, we talk about who are spies each other for 3
minutes.
7. And choose one person. But group is one body so two people will
die
8. Repeat talk 5~6 course
9. If there is one spy at least, spies win. But If there is no spy, citizens
win
Closure
We will talk about the clues we used to find the agents
Students will talk about whether they think they were good clues, or if they thought
that different English words or characteristics would have been better
Clean-up (if required)

F. DIFFERENTIATION
Counselors will be around to help students with any English difficulties they may have. If the
game finishes early and we still have time we will pick new spies and play again, or students can have
another chance to go through the obstacle course.

G. WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THIS LESSON AND WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?
Time could be a potential problem. If students take too long in the obstacle course then we
may not have enough time to finish the game, and if students finish both the obstacle course and the
mafia game early then we may have extra time to fill. If we run out of time then we will just finish as
much of the game as we can and let students move on to the next stations. If students finish early then
we will repeat either the obstacle course or the mafia game until it is time for students to move on.
