What was the man doing and how did he die in each situation? Ss are all given one strip. They must memorize their sentence. They share the information verbally (but cannot write anything) to try and solve the puzzle. If students cannot solve the puzzle once they've shared all the information they can each ask the teacher questions but the teacher can only answer yes or no.
