language from Exercise 3a.
Extension: simulation part 1
Students create a class newspaper in English while they are working on this unit. 
Set four tasks, one at the end of each of the four sections in this unit. The class 
newspaper should contain stories about the members of the class, and be aimed 
at people with similar backgrounds and interests.
Students re-run the role play in Exercise 3e, but this time for a newspaper that 
they really are going to produce. They can work in the same groups or as a whole 
class. They should aim for a list of around 5–10 headlines and story ideas for 
their newspaper. Make sure they keep a record of their headlines, as these will be 
crucial for the next parts of the simulation.
