The Lenny Kravitz song, there's potential to turn it into an exercise to put the verbs in the right tense....
Lenny Kravitz My Mama Said
My mama saidThat your life is a gift
And my mama saidThere's much weight you will lift
And my mama saidLeave those bad boys alone
And my mama saidBe home before the dawn
And my mama saidYou can be rich or poor
But my mama saidYou can be big or small
But I'm always on the run
My mama saidThat it's good to be fruitful
But my mama saidDon't take more than a mouthful
And my mama saidThat it's good to be natural
And my mama saidThat it's good to be factual
But I'm always on the run
My mama saidBaby don't ride that crazy horse
And my mama saidYou must push with much force
And my mama saidGo get all that you're after
And my mama saidThat love's all that matters
But I'm always on the run
Ive decided to go with this one:
The Killers Somebody told me
Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around
Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now
When all I wanna do is try

ALIBI - SIMULATION OF A POLICE INTERROGATION WITH DISCUSSION AT THE END ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF SOMEONE WAS LYING.
Copy and paste the below article inserting 2 student's names into the spaces.
Gaudi’s Guell Park lizard vandalised
More bad news from Spain. The fabulous mosaic lizard/dragon/salamander at the entrance to the Parc Guell was vandalised on Tuesday evening this week. The damage was apparently done by 2 people, using an iron bar. Police would like to question two local students of English concerning the incident; -----------------and ------------------------------. More details from el Periodico (in Spanish) showing damage to the head…
The last time the sculpture was assaulted like this was probably when it was made. Gaudi reportedly kicked it to deform the metal armature into the shape he wanted…
Proceedure:
Students read the article:
Divide class into 10 students, 2 suspects (A and B) and 2 teams of 4 policemen(C and D) , make the suspects stronger and well-behaved students.
Students go outside and decide on their story while police decide on their interrogation questions.
C interrogates A while D interrogates B
D interrogates B while C interrogates B
A and B come together again and discuss what they were asked and when they said. Should be using reported questions and reported speech
e.g. "they asked me what I was wearing and I said that I was wearing a t-shirt."
Split and mix C and D, so that they can compare questions and answers given, also using reported speech.
e.g. I asked her what she was wearing and she said that she was wearing a T-Shirt.
Not sure if this is good for teens but they do seem to joke about Bush quite a lot so I'll give it a go.

THE TOP 10 “BUSHISMS”
Put the quotes into the following categories
a) International politics and geography
b) Life in America
c) Public relations
d) Being the president of the USA
e) Iraq
1."You work three jobs? Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." (Bush speaking to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005)
2. "Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with sunglasses on?... I'm interested in the sunglasses look, seriously.... For the viewers, there’s no sun." (Bush making fun of partially blind reporter Peter Wallsten, June 14, 2006)
3. "I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake." (Bush describing the highlight of his time in office to a German interviewer, May 7, 2006)
4. "The point now is how do we work together to achieve important goals. And one such goal is a democracy in Germany." (Bush in Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006)
5. "I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure." (Bush in Washington, D.C., Sept. 23, 2004)
6. "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." (Bush in Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004)
7. "I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." (Bush in Washington, D.C., May 25, 2004)
8. "Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling." (Bush in Washington, D.C., Jan. 23, 2004)
9. "I believe that a prosperous, democratic Pakistan will be a steadfast partner for America, a peaceful neighbor for India, and a force for freedom and moderation in the Arab world."(Bush in Islamabad, Pakistan, which is not part of the Arab world, on March 3, 2006)
10. "You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone." (Bush in Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006)
Choose three Bushisms and re-write them as reported speech:
Example: Bush asked the divorced mother of three if she worked three jobs. He said that it was fantastic that she was doing that.
The New Cutting Edge Intermediate resource pack has an exercise called survivor that I might try out as well.
The Cutting Edge Intermediate chapter on reported speech made it very clear, there was a story about twins separated at birth and how they were reunited.
