to...” This must be followed by the name of a place, then a verb, then an
adjective and a noun. All the words must start with the same letter. Starting

you do not come up with an appropriate sentence in one minute.

gas and fall down. The only way to save the lives of the majority is to sacrifice two, three

famous people who might be on the balloon. Write them on scrap paper. Your teacher will
re-distribute them and you will have two minutes to come up with a persuasive argument as
to why your person should be saved. After everyone has spoken there will be a vote.
