PART TWO

Bring your worksheet to class. Work with a small group to discuss the possibilities you found
most interesting. What were your reactions to the predictions?
Example:
A: I read that we might have all day eating.
B: Maybe, but I don’t think so.
C: That would be great. Then I could have a meal in a restaurant when it wasn't crowded.
