Biscuit Thief
Two strangers alone in a waiting room at a train station. A newspaper, a coffee and a packet of biscuits. What could possibly go wrong?
Biscuit ThiefĀ is based on a famous urban legend that plays with mistaken assumptions and social awkwardness. Students predict the twist, retell the story in their own way and debate whether the mix-up could happen in real life.
Perfect for B1/B2 learners, this storytelling-focused lesson builds narrative skills, introduces useful collocations and explores fronting ā€“ a grammar point for dramatic effect.
An engaging way to get students talking!
