Ways of working:

the worksheet can be used to write an advert for a new flatmate.

You will need:
a copy of the worksheet Room for one more for each group or individual.

Download the Room for one more worksheet.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file. If you don't have it you can download it here.

Discussion points:

  • How easy was it deciding upon the wording for your advert?
  • Did you agree about what was important to you about a new person sharing your flat?
  • How did you decide what questions to ask when you interview your potential flatmates?
  • Do you think it is easy to find out what it is like to live with someone when you have only met them once?

Step-by-step:

  Depending on the size of the group, split the group into sub-groups or ask people to work alone
  Distribute the Room for one more worksheet
  Ask each group or individual to write an advert advertising for someone to move into the spare room in their flat
  Ask each group or individual to then decide what questions they would ask each potential flatmate in order to decide on who they would want to move in
  Have a group discussion on what are things that would be important to them if they were making this choice
