SUSPECT INTERROGATION

 

1. I once ate 15 eggs in 5 minutes.

2. I sometimes help my dad counting bats.

3. My brother caught a thief by using a candid camera.

 

1. My parents met each other while writing letters when my father was a soldier.

2. I volunteered in Africa in the slumps for 3 months. 

3. I found a fly in my pork tenderloin but the waiter didn't believe it was already in it.

 

1. My best friend was kidnapped for a couple of hours when she was 8 years old. 

2. I neglected my hamster and after a while it was not able to walk anymore.

3. When I was in grade 7 I had to take typing lessons, but I was so sick and tired of it that I threw my typing machine out of the window once.

 

Well, a lot of weird stories. 1 out of every 3 is true. You should interrogate me in order to find out which one is true. Of course I will not confess so you have to ask difficult questions or pay attention to my body language as well. 

Good luck, I'm a good liar.

ALIBIAfbeeldingsresultaat voor alibi

 

Last Friday night a bank was robbed (=passive ;)). The suspects are 5 people of this class, but they claim they have an alibi: they went eating at a restaurant far away from the crime scene. 

What to do?

- The 5 suspects prepare their story. (Make sure you know every detail of the story!)

- The rest of the class will be divided in 5 groups and they prepare their interrogation. (Make sure you ask questions that will 'trick' the suspects!)
