Scenario

A diamond was stolen from a shop on the High Street last night. The diamond
was priceless. Nobody knows exactly when the diamond was stolen, but it
was certainly taken between 7 pm and 9 pm. A number of people were seen
outside the shop at the time. They are being questioned by the police. At
present, they are the prime suspects!
Witness 1
You are an old lady who loves cats. All you care
about are your cats. You feed stray cats in the
street. Yesterday, you were feeding your cats
outside the shop at 7.45 pm. You left straight
afterwards. You saw two suspicious men
outside the shop. Dont forget to shout, since
you are a bit deaf. Remember: tell the police all
about your cats.



                                                                     Witness 2
                                                    You are a very important young business man. You are
                                                    very offended that the police stopped you. You do not
                                                    have time to waste at the police station. You need to go
                                                    to a business meeting. You were walking home
                                                    yesterday from the office and you passed in front of the
                                                    shop at 8.00 pm. You saw a lot of cats in front of the
                                                    shop.
Witness 3
You are a young university student. Last night, you were
at a pub watching a football match with friends. The pub
is across the street from the shop. You did not pay a lot
of attention to what was happening because you were
drunk and very happy because your team won. You think
you might have seen someone come out of the shop at
8.15, but you do not know if it was a man or a woman.
There were a lot of cats in front of the shop.




                                                                    Witness 4
                                                    You are a retired army general. You are very used to
                                                    giving orders and you do not like being questioned by
                                                    the police. You feel that you should be the one asking
                                                    the questions. Last night, you were taking a walk with
                                                    your old dog. You were not wearing your glasses, so
                                                    you could not see very well. You think you saw a
                                                    person acting suspicious in front of the shop at 8.30.
                                                    Unfortunately, your dog was barking very loudly
                                                    because he saw some cats and you could not
                                                    investigate further.
Witness 5
You are a young shop assistant at the jewellery
shop. You are not very intelligent. You think you
are very beautiful and you like to flirt with
everyone. You closed the shop at 7.00 pm
yesterday and took the bus home. You think you
saw someone suspicious standing on the other
side of the road, but you are not sure. Lately,
youve had problems with a bunch of cats that are
always outside the shop. The cats were outside
the shop last night. Do not forget to flirt with the
police!                                                                 Thief!

                                                       for days, using your special disguise.

                                                        You stole the diamond at 8.30 pm last night!
                                                       You used the cats as cover (copertura), broke
                                                       into the shop, and stole the jewel the only
                                                       person to see you was the old general, but he
                                                       wasn't wearing his glasses!

                                                                  Will the police catch you?

Cut the cards. Give each small
group a set of cards and dice.
Students take turns throwing
the dice. The student who
gets the lowest number takes
a card and answers the
question. If two students get
the same low number, they
both have to throw the dice
again to see who gets the
lowest. Repeat the same
procedure       until    most
questions       have     been
answered or until you run out
of time. Enjoy!

This exercise may enable student groups to discover how they work
together; their strengths and how they need to improve.
Procedure:
1 Give the students the handout of the scenario and the brief bio of the
nine survivors and make clear the 30 minute time limit imposed.
2 Explain that each group will have five minutes in which to report back
and justify their decision. Reporting back is not essential but gives the
students the opportunity to explain their decisions. If there is a large
number of groups, an alternative would be to record their choices on
paper for display.
3 Carry out a debriefing of how the group had functioned. The questions
you ask will depend upon the learning you want the students to achieve
from the exercise but should encourage reflection on their experience.


Examples - How did they reach their decision?
What roles did group members adopt?
Did they listen to each other?
What have they learned about the functions of a group?
