Notes:
- Teachers need to call students in random orders for different parts of the lesson.
- If there are fewer than 6 students in a session, let the students answer all the questions using all the suggestions in each section.
For example, in the “Wear your word” part, each student will define one word, if there is only one student; let him/her try to define all
words.
- Try to take note of students’ answers on the board as much as possible for each section and correct the mistakes (if any).
- Before moving to a new section of the lesson, remember to tell the link between this section with the topic or with the previous
section.
