I just finished a short adventure with a group of my students where Atticus was left in a ditch after Calpurnia had hit on him, and the kids discover a dungeon and rescue Dill; Nathan then turns out to be a serial killer.....
A lot of fun and I'm convinced that this method has enormous potential. Here, as elsewhere in school work the effort and concentration is lacking, but it's possible to make up for that as you go along. Even though they had forgot their character sheets and were really sceptical a story was created, we reflected on the characters and English was spoken throughout....
I'll be gathering more points shortly....
