About this activity
Two rival radio crews hear four short original dialogues from a community radio drama in the fictional town of Tessmore, Ontario. Every phone judges tone, purpose and what a speaker implies in the OSSLT's single- and multiple-selection formats, then hunts for the one line that gave the subtext away, which the big screen replays only after answers lock.
What students learn
- Judge a speaker's tone in a dialogue by weighing the words against the situation
- Identify a speaker's purpose: what they want the listener to do or feel
- Infer what a speaker implies but never says, and point to the line that proves it
