1. Teacher says a group of words, or a single word, from the story, in L2.
2. Groups of 3 or 4 put heads together to translate what they heard, as a group.
3. When they have their group answer, one person raise their hand.
4. One of the judges points to the first group to raise their hand.
5. That judge, or another one, verifies that the group had put their heads together.
6. If so, the group makes their sign, synchronized.
7. The judge verifies that the group sign was synchronized.
8. They answer as a group, but their answer need not be spoken in unison.
9. If the group’s answer is correct, the scorer (student #3 or #4 in this group of 3 or 4 judges) gives them a point on the board.
10. The first group to get 2 points gets to throw a nerf ball at the target that the scorer drew on the board, or the team, standing behind a taped line on the floor at a distance of about ten feet, throws the ball (trashketballs are fine) into a trash can.
11. The team gets to throw the ball at the target as many times as they can in one minute.
12. In a composition book labeled “WCTG”, the scorer keeps a running tab of each group’s point total throughout the year, for all five classes.
13. To build competition and interest between the classes, we can add a wall poster on the wall that keeps a running score of the first place team’s total score in each class. This listing of total points builds interest between classes about the “top” WCTG team of all five classes. The scorer kid is responsible in each class for keeping the wall poster up to date.
