Description
Students try to help solve the mystery of a strange letter their teacher received the day before from an unknown sender. In groups, students fill in their dossier, i.e. gather information about the country from which the letter came, find out the meaning of the circled words in the letter and what they have in common. Given the limited objectives of this activity, it is suitable for students who are still beginners in multilingual tasks.
