Please, read the story paying attention to the descriptions of location, people and other details. Then look at the pictures and choose the one that fits the dialogue most of all. Retell the story.
On Sunday, the 19th of November officer Jordan received a report from his colleague officer Williams, who worked in the central police department of New Orleans. The report contained information about a terrorist act. The officer claimed that the crime took place at the centre of the city, in a very crowded place. It happened at 2:10 p.m. and the central avenue was full of visitors at that time.
The officer who was directing traffic at that moment noticed a suspicious man on the roof of the building of the central library. He was dressed in a black jacket and trousers of the main colour. The man was carrying in his hands something that looked like a case. He opened the case and at that particular moment the officer heard an explosion.
Some of the people who were passing that place at the moment of explosion were injured, but all of them stayed alive. The police patrol arrived in two minutes and evacuated all the other pedestrians as well as the cars that were left nearby.
The New Orleans police is now searching for the criminals who organized that terrorist act. You may be very helpful if you contact the central police department: 255- 376-998 and tell any relevant information.
Plan for the story-telling:
1.What happened? Where did it take place? When did it happen?
2.Tell the details of the terrorist act.
3.Tell about the victims of the act and the actions of the police patrol.
4.How can the citizens help the police in investigating the crime?
