Activity 17 (continues)
• Go through the chart that serves
as an example and guide
students through the steps
to change a statement from
indirect speech to direct.
• Encourage students to do the
same with the statements
they highlighted.

• Ask students if the meaning
changes when using one type
of speech or the other. They
should be able to respond
that it doesn’t.

• Elicit why they need the
statements in direct speech for
their comic strip. They should
be able to recognize that comic
strips have speech bubbles
and the characters do most of
the talking. The narrator helps
tell the story but doesn’t have
a main role. However, in short
stories and novels, he plays an
important part.
Activity 18
• Encourage students to reflect on
their performance.
• Remind students of the
importance of reviewing
their work.
• Tell them to focus on their strengths and areas they could improve upon.
• Ask them to go back to the activities they did previously to complete the self-evaluation chart honestly,
using evidence.
• Reflect on whether you need to make any changes or reinforce any content in this practice.
• Check the students’ answers and, if necessary, offer options to improve them. For example: recognize
what the problem is (lack of confidence, limited vocabulary, the way sentences are built, lack of reading
comprehension, misunderstanding the activity, etc.); offer solutions (review the activity, practice with a
partner, etc.); implement them.
