Task - Using the DVD clip The Grapple as a discussion tool Introductory focus questions Have you ever been tempted to spend your money on something that turned out to be a waste? (Reflect on past actions) Who makes machines like the Grapple? (Critical reflection) What might the purpose be for machines like the Grapple? (Form an hypothesis) These questions might be used to generate an inquiry. If students are interested to find out how much money these machines make for their owners, or where profits go, this train of research could be encouraged as a lead in or adjunct to the other activities in this section. Remember Fall seven times, stand up eight. (Japanese Proverb) We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit. (Aristotle, Greek philosopher) Task - Consequences This activity is based on the game of Consequences. Students need a copy of the Consequences Story Sheet each and to be seated in a circle. Explain to the class that they are going to write a story about something that happens to Wacky but they will only be able to see their part of the story. Explain that they need to be consistent in their stories and not be too far fetched as the stories will be funnier that way and that all stories will be read aloud. Everyone completes the first sentence on the page: Wacky went out to visit the… Everyone folds over the paper so the beginning of the next sentence is visible and what they have just written is hidden. Each student then passes the paper to their left and completes the next sentence on the paper they have just been given. Continue until all sentences are completed. Unfold the papers and read them out. Allow time for laughing. The stories are a springboard to lead a discussion about choices and to lead into the Choose your own action task. 76 CONSUMER AFFAIRS VICTORIA NEED CONSUMER HELP? 1300 55 81 81 www.consumer.vic.gov.au
