With the sentences from the 4 groups, the teacher writes a profile.
Examples:

According to what the 2nd group said: Mrs Smith always wears bright and vintage GLASSES.
According to what the 3rd group said: Mrs. Smith is married, and has 2 grown SONS who don’t live with her.
According to what the 4th group said : Mrs. Smith visits the park every week to go HIKING or take the dog for a walk.
Game 2
Each group will have to create a profile using the information of each dice (4 dice).
When the teacher collects all 4 profiles, she will reassign a profile for each group. Once each group has a new profile, they will have to write a biography based on the profile they received.

Write a newspaper article about it.
Write the interview between a prívate detective or police officer with the person whose profile the students are working with.
