Literature: The Fruitcake Special

Hi everybody!


This time I want to share nice lesson plans on The Fruitcake Special. I applied these in my class and they seem so helpful and fun.





     First and foremost, for the introduction of the short story, perhaps you could have a debate session which the motion is 'THBT Perfume is More Appealing Than Look'. Ask students to form 2 groups and decide which group will be the government or opposition sides. (Use your creativity to decide). Then, elect 2 adjudicators, Speaker of the House and time keeper. Give them time 20 minutes to 30 minutes to list out the arguments and ask each team to choose 3 speakers and each speaker is given 6-7 minutes to speak and 3 minutes for reply speech. 
     This activity is quite interesting as the students will try to defend their arguments and try to convince the judges that their arguments are strong. Encourage shy students to be speaker of the house or the debaters. 


Happy Trying! Huhuhu...!
