Watch the video segment and guess what might have happened to the characters.
Check the options you believe are possible explanations for the characters to be in such a place.
( ) They were drugged before taken to that room.
( ) Adam was kidnapped while he was sleeping.
( ) Adam had his kidney removed.
( ) A stranger took Lawrence, the doctor, to that place.
( ) A serial killer planned a horrible death for the characters.
( ) Adam and Lawrence went there because they wanted to.
Now rewrite them, using past modal verbs to express probability/ possibility/ impossibility.
Ex:
They might have been drugged before taken to that room.
Adam can’t have had his kidney removed.
A serial killer must have planned a horrible death for the characters.
How to develop your own video acyivity:
• Select a segment in which the viewer cannot predict what happened before the scene actually takes place
• Prepare an exercise with several possible (or impossible) explanations for the puzzle
• Ask students to rewrite the same sentences, using with the grammar goal
