Suggested results
(can be used for teacher example and for groups):
go skinny dipping
call 911
paint my body
hop on one foot
climb on the roof
attract a lot of attention
climb a tree
2.
Divide the students into groups. Give each group a different result
and have them brainstorm 
if-
clauses using 
might.
3.
After each group writes as many 
if
-clauses as possible, have the
students in each group decide which one of the 
if-
clauses would
produce the result they have been working with. The groups
should try to reach a consensus, but that may not be possible.
4.
Share sentences (or 
if
-clauses) with the class.
