 This is a jigsaw reading activity. Each student is assigned a character and has to read only the part about
his or her crime as homework. In the following lesson, T gives these strips of paper, which contain all the
information of the crimes, to different Ss (taking into account not to give a S the same crime he had to
read). One student starts retelling his/her crime, the S who holds the paper with that same crime checks
whether she/he is giving all the information, otherwise, he will ask him/her a question about what is
missing. Then, all the Ss guess who the character is.
