Humanising Language Teaching Year 5; Issue 1; January 03
Mind Reading
Level: elementary to advanced
Time: 20-30 minutes
Purpose: to stimulate discussion about how people think they can “read” another
person's mind.
Preparation : get hold of a large poster with a wide variety of attractive male and
female figures- they should not be people in the public eye.
Lesson Outline:
- Group the students in fours and put up the poster.
- Ask each student to pick one person he or she finds attractive, but without saying anything about it to the others.
- In each group the students try to guess who student A has chosen and explain why they think this. Student A listens and after two minutes he tells them.
The same happens with Students B, C and D in each group.
- Pair the students and give them the Mind-Reading questionnaire. Student A puts it to B and B to A.
The Mind-Reading Questionnaire
- Do you like guessing what other people think?
- How good were you at guessing during this game?
- How did you feel when other people guessed about you?
- Think of the three people you guessed about.
What clues did you have for the first person?
And for the second?
And the third?
- When you were right, did you know it? If so, how did you know it?
- When is this sort of guessing important to you?
- Tell me three times you have guessed right about some one's thoughts.
