This Project based lesson plan is inspired by a very similar lesson plan i found on the internet “The Amazing Race.” I have not changed the name in my lesson plan activity as I made it a race within the class in groups. The activity provides students to read different types of traditional tales from a specific continent, I limit the number for each group 10. Each group had 5 students so each group had to read 50 traditional tales to win each student had to read 10. So their success depends on their groups’ success. I used stamps as exit tickets for the passport. Please get back to me if something is not clear. I welcome any suggestions to make my resource better.

Plenary
I have created and used this resource as a starter activity. Taboo as we know we cannot say the word but describe the words for and have their partners guess the word on the card without using the word itself. I left the second half of the card blank so that the students can pick any one word write 3-5 words that come to their mind and then all those words become taboo.
Here’s how i did this homophone starter game. In each group i gave 4 cards and asked them to collaborate and write words that come to their mind about the words. As students were doing it for first time so they did not have any idea what was this all about. The cards were then collected back a random card was then picked from the deck to be guessed. There is a time keeper each word is given only 1 minute. If a word is guessed they have to come up with the other word which sounds the same but means something else within the given time.
