Another task-based activity similar to the one posted previously. "Ask and move" task where pupils have to question four "experts" about up-and-coming F1 star Charles Leclerc. Look in the Lesson Plans section.

A task-based activity based on "Ask and Move" from our book Breaking the Sound Barrier. This one requires pairs of pupils to find information from four experts on Paris. The experts are posted around the room each expert possessing a paragraph of information. The rest of the class are in pairs, with one information seeker and one scribe. This task is easily adaptable to other topics (and languages). It can be simplified or made more complex for A-level. It should produce a noisy and productive classroom.
