Procedure

  • Cut the interview into five sections, and remove the interviewer's questions. Cut up and shuffle sets of the dominoes cards, enough for one set per pair in your class.
  • Start the lesson by asking the students whether they know anything about Diwali. Read aloud the introduction of the article, from "The Festival of Lights..." until "... known as dipas."
  • Divide the class into groups of three. Give the students within each group a copy of the same text section.
  • Ask the groups to read through their texts, looking up any unknown words together. They should then work out the question that goes with their part of the interview. Allow 10 minutes.
  • Put the class in new groups of five, with one person from each of the previous groups, to pool information about Diwali.
  • Reveal the original questions.
  • Put the class in pairs and give each pair a set of domino cards featuring adjective and noun collocations from the article. The aim is to put the dominoes together so that they all fit in a line. You can make this into a competitive activity.
  • Ask the class to use the dominoes to retell the Diwali story.
  • Review the vocabulary in future lessons with individual players playing the traditional dominoes game.
