Carlos and the bandits

Today I worked with 1st year students. I introduced 911, and we discussed emergencies.  I showed them a news clip about Carlos, divided them into two groups and handed out a news writeup on the story and had the students list the nouns and determiners.  This took them about 10 minutes.  They wrote the nouns on the board each from their own group, then a member from the opposite group filled in the determiner for each noun.  Then I gave them a fill in the blank sheet, which they did perfectly because they copied from their notes :-/
We went over the sheet in class, then watched a different Carlos newsclip.
Students then wrote 5 questions and in 2 co centric rings asked each other questions.
