Instructions
1. Divide your class into two groups of people - the "problem people" and the "problem solvers". Ask the "problem people" to come up with problems for the "problem solvers" to solve. If necessary, use the following list of modal verbs to help your "problem solvers" give advise.
| You SHOULD... | You NEED to ... |

The "problem solvers" should do their best to listen and to give advise using modal verbs in the table outlined above. After the discussion, the "problem people" should move around the room and speak to five other "problem solvers."
3. Once the "problem people" have talked to five other "problem solvers", ask the class for the best and worst piece of advise they were offered.
