Activity 26
• If your students cannot cope
with the activity at this point, ask
them to read the example of a
report, so they have the whole
picture. They may also re-read
some of the texts they used for
composing their own report.
• If this is not relevant to your
students (either because
they won’t use headings
in their report or because it’s
too abstract), you could ask
questions related to the use of
other elements. For example,
connectives, use of capital
letters, ways of writing
dates, etc.

Activity 27
• Be sure your students know that
some changes in the order of
events also entail changes in
punctuation or use of
capital letters.
• Ask them to exchange their final
drafts with other teams so that
they can receive feedback
from their classmates.
• Your students may want to have
a second chance to proofread
their texts. There are some
websites about English usage
which are helpful for this kind of task. Your colleagues could also help you answer any questions your
students may have.

• Offer and show students how to provide feedback to improve their drafts. In order to do this, keep in mind
the following:

- Avoid pejorative judgments, for example: “it’s horrible”, “very bad”, “that’s terrible.”
- Express yourself courteously, for example: “I suggest ...”, “I consider ...”, “I believe ...”, etc.
Provide evidence, for example: “You could remove this information and add it here.”
