Preparation
Download and print a copy of Tales of Samorost2 part 1 for each group of 5 or 6 learners and cut the story up into separate paragraphs.
There are 26 paragraphs in this story. You may choose to cut smaller paragraphs out in a single chunk (e.g. on page 2 and 49 to reduce the number of pieces of paper.

Activity
1) Divide your learners into small groups of 5 or 6 individuals
2) Each group should then elect one person to be the editor or boss.
3) Give each group a copy of the cut up tales of Samorost2 part 1 (paragraphs should be shuffled up).
4) Tell the editor or boss to divide the reading sections up fairly (themselves included) and give your learners time to read their texts.
5) Each takes it in turns to summarise what is in each of their paragraphs.
6) When they have finished summarising they should work together to sequence the story in the correct order.
7) After they have done this they can compare with another group any way they please as long as they don't leave their groups (i.e they have to stay sitting down).

Post activity
Stick the 5 pages of the story on the walls and ask learners to check their answers.
Learners summarise the story in the correct order.
