Hi Jim,
In about two weeks I'll finally try the experiment.
I have a question: Would the reasoning after, 'Yes, he did.', be appropriate as the explanation for that 'yes'?
Did the driver know Alex? Explain your answer.
Yes, he did. Because he told him that nobody could see him in the back of the lorry.

Tenacious LearnerWould the reasoning after, 'Yes, he did.', be appropriate as the explanation for that 'yes'?Yes, but it's a rather literal copy of the words of the story. Your students might choose any number of different ways to explain why the driver knew Alex, all of which mean pretty much the same thing, so I hope you won't require them to answer exactl

CalifJimI hope you won't require them to answer exactly what you've written here as the explanation.Hi Jim,
