Introduction
Maren Wolf
Jan-Michael Stube
• We pick up where the last presentation left
off: the students know the story and its
content.
Lesson 1: 0 to 15
• For this lesson, we meet at a computer
room (see later in the lesson).
• Discuss in class:
• Setting of the story (references in the text)
• “Windermere Hotel”
• Old-fashioned elevators etc.
• San Quentin prison
• Characters (references in the text)
• Tony is a detective (palming door knobs,
house dick, ...)
Lesson 1: 15 to 45
• Internet research: discuss appropriate
topics with class and if necessary provide
suggestions (e.g. Chandler).
(10)
• Students do the research (check progress
and give support).
(10)
• Presentation of results.

• HW: find pictures that fit to your image of
the setting and characters (print out and
bring to class).
Lesson 2: 0 to 10
• Presentation of HW: create a wallchart (be
aware that the teacher should provide the
material necessary for this).

Lesson 2: 30 to 45
• Difficult words: use a monolingual
dictionary to look up the definition. Write
the definition on one piece of paper, the
word itself on another.
• Collect 10 words and then switch the
definitions with your neighbour‘s.
• Read out the definitions to your partner
and he tries to figure out which word it
describes.
Lesson 2: homework
Essay (~2 pages): differences to your
own culture? What seems odd to you?
[Hotel, criminals, guns, shooting, murder,
gambling…]
Lesson 3: 0 to 15
• Check homework
(10)
• Start lesson with crossword puzzle. (5)
Lesson 3: 15 to 30
Prepare roleplay: write your own banterscenes. You can use the persons from the
story or your own similar characters. You can
also change the scene and relations if you
stick to the original characters.
Lesson 3: 30 to 45
Roleplay: act out the scenes.
Example:
Tony proposes to Ms. Cressy,
who mocks him but finally agrees
to marry the detective.

Comments
• Maybe 4 lessons are required or leave out
some tasks.
• 8/9th grade: learn a lot about other
perspectives (→ empathy)
• Problem: text is quite difficult.
• 12/13th grade: learn new words
• Problem: not many new aspects about other cultures.
Comments
→Our problem: text does not fulfill all criteria
for a suitable text. Either too difficult or not
enough new information. The exploitability
is taken from larger context.
