Procedure:
Split the class into 6 groups, and hand out 2 copies of the worksheet to each group.
Students check through the sentences for mistakes, using textbooks for reference if
necessary, and mark on the worksheet which sentences are 'fakes' and which are 'genuine'.
If half of each group scans sentences 1 to 10, while the other half scans 11 to 20, then
you can save yourself some time (hence the use of two worksheets per group)!
Next hand out the money to each group - a suggested amount would be fifty copies each, and
check they can actually say the numbers in English! Students then compete to buy the
sentences that they believe to be 'genuine', while trying not to bid for 'fakes'.
Hand over the large card version of each sentence as they are sold.
After the auction, go through all of the sentences to check for 'fakes', which are then
'repossessed' by the auction house. The group with the most 'genuine' sentences at the end
of the check become the auction winners (tie-breaks can be decided by which group has more
money remaining).
