Choosing a Sports Kurabu
Students work in pairs to decide which of the four sports clubs (gyms) they will join. Each student and their partner go to two clubs, ask some questions and share the information. They then discuss which club they will choose.
Procedure
The teacher chooses four students to play the role of an information officer at each sports club. (More advanced students may be chosen for this role.) Students form pairs. Each student receives a copy of the information sheet.
