Now it's much better.. There are cleares steps in your class. If I were you, during the eliciting perio d (T writes on bb), I'd only resort to nown phrases (=concepts) so that they find the writing task (#2) + challenging.
ResponderEliminarI still don't quite agree with the underlining task (= recognition)& the 2nd part (write on their netbooks) seems to be the same as the previous one.
" They have to underline all the verbs and classify them into regular or irregular .Write some comments about the tragedy.">>>I'm afraid I do not see the connection between one sentence and the other.
Good follow up & evolution of work though drafts.
Pls, note: verSion.
Good job
