The time is over.

• Open the Teachers Book and compare the answers
  with your answers.
• Put an X next to the lines where your mistakes
  are.
• Dont erase your mistakes.
• Just cross them out and write the correct answer
  above it.

10

• Talk in the group about the mistakes.
• Make sure you have understood.
• If no-one in the group knows the explanation,
  the secretary should write down the questions.

11
Now give me the piece of paper with the questions.
12
NOW AS TEACHERS WE SHOULD REMEMBER
The groups in your class should have diversity.
(Remember the colours. Your groups should be
composed of all colours.)
13
Let the students decide about the secretary. (If
they cant agree, you should suggest one.)
Give clear instructions to the students and make
sure they know what they are going to do.
Be specific about the time. Write it on the
board.
14

• While students are working, dont sit down.
• Circulate in class and listen to how students
  work.
• Write any comments you want to make when the
  lesson finishes.
• Dont interrupt them.

15
When you assign grammar tasks, make sure you
have presented the new phenomena.
Everything should be based on previous knowledge.
16

• Make sure they understand the words even when
  they do grammar tasks.
• Encourage them to ask other members of the group.
  
• It is excellent revision even for the most
  confident students.

17
Check their attitude to all the members of the
group. You may give general comments at the end
of the lesson.
18
Talk with the students when they finish. Do they
have a positive attitude? What type of students
are those who are negative? What should you
do?
