Create a set of large speech bubble outlines on different coloured card or paper (A3 if possible). If the speech bubble outlines are laminated before use they can be reused over and over.

In small groups students discuss what each of these people - a Khmer Rouge soldier, Pol Pot (or another Khmer Rouge leader) and a Phnom Penh resident - might have said as they explained why the city was being evacuated and described what was happening. Students write a brief speech to go in each person's speech bubble.

Pin each set of speech bubbles up on the wall. Students can either move around the room in their groups reading each other's speech bubbles and identifying similarities and differences, or each group can explain to the class how they came to decide on what went into their bubbles.
