Personifying living spaces; Constructing an imaginary dwelling

Students go through a series of different problem tasks and activities related to the historical, cultural and social context of the USA which they need to collaborate on in groups. Each group moves between 5 stands, where they can find one task to do, writing their answers on a sheet of paper given on each desk. The aim of the lesson is to elaborate by joint efforts a common handout summarizing the most important points from the activities together with other materials which will serve as a basis for their further studies of the topic of the United States.

Students go through a series of information gap activities with the objective to cover the whole topic of Halloween from the cultural, historical, and literary point of view.

The final collaborative task is to create a mind map summarizing the main points they learned in the lesson.
