Homework
If you are short on time, students can
do Exercise 6 for homework. If you
have done this in class, ask students
to exchange their texts with another
student for them to read and give
feedback on content and structure.
Students could check if the text uses
the same structure as the example.
They should also decide which the
most/least interesting part of the
text is.
