To have students think about the solutions first and then figure out the problems. Good one.
I also like presenting the possibility of a writing segment to this activity. Do the role play and then develop either a problem-solution essay or one outlining an argument.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the support. I knew that the pledge I made on my website could lead to different reactions, but yours was the one I was hoping for with my whole heart. It’s wonderful to share a common love for and pride in the teaching profession.
Warm regards to you and your students,
Jennifer

First, it could also work as an introduction to a writing assignment where students give reasons to support their argument. Also, if you wanted to take it further, you could just give them the solutions and have them figure out the problems as well.

Anyway, thanks for the idea!

I hope this message gets to you.
I have been using your videos since the very same day I came across them. They are great. You are a true professional. My students find the videos educational, easy to follow and understand.
I also want to thank you for sharing your teachers´pledge. Nothing has ever struck me so profoundly before. You helped me change my frame of mind. From the very first time I saw your videos I said to myself: “This girl is definetely special”. Now I know it for sure after reading your pledge. Hugs to you.
