“Help me, I’m a loner!”
(Folie Arbeitsauftrag)1
Walt and Thao have been invited to a talk show with the title, “Help me, I’m a loner”! In the show they have 2 minutes to first present themselves and then bring forward arguments why or why not
- they are in fact loners
- they are desperate about this and feel they need help
Afterwards, the audience is allowed to ask questions.
Preparing for the talk show
- In order to prepare for the first part, Walt and Thao are asked to fill in the following character card. However, the questions got all mixed up! Using the phrases on the right for help, write down the questions from the grey box in an order that helps you present yourself in a structured way.
- Complete the first three boxes on the basis of what you have learned about Thao/Walt so far.
- Cut out the card. Using your notes and the phrases, present yourself to 2 other students with the same character. Give each other feedback and tips for improvement.
- Together, complete the last box.
- Together, think of five questions that you would like to ask the other character (Walt or Thao).
- On your own, practise your whole presentation three times, keeping in mind the feedback that the group has given you:
- Look at your notes and the phrases on the right.
- Fold your card, so that you can only see the notes, but not the phrases. Give your presentation again (including the phrases!).
- Give your presentation once more. Look at your character card only if necessary.
