quickly find the matching English sentence in the text.

Gdje su bili otimai zrakoplova? Where were the hijackers?

Avion je bio pun putnika. The plane was full of passengers.

Otimai zrakoplova su bili naoruani. Hijackers were armed.

To je bio policajac na tajnom zadatku. That was all a policeman undercover.

Final part

Activity 9: Playing Bang Bang Game to reinforce vocabulary introduced in this lesson and
to revise the words they have learnt in the preceding lessons.

The group is divided into two teams. They are cowboys and they are involved in a duel. One
student from each team comes to the front. They pretend to draw their pistols. I say "how do
you say..." and a word in their mother tongue. The first child to give the answer and then
"bang bang", pretending to shoot his opponent is the winner. He remains standing and the
other one sits down.
