Activity 11 (continues)
• Your students may register the
questions in their notebook, but
they should also take notes
on the most important aspects of
the questions.

Activity 12
• By now, your students should be
able to write short descriptions.
If not, provide them with
expressions they can use to
begin their description. Allow
them to check other practices
where descriptions and
structures used for describing
are employed (adjectives,
superlatives and comparatives,
relative clauses).
• Deciding on the sequence of
events is also important. For this
activity, a timeline or a retelling
of main ideas could be useful
in verifying whether the chosen
order is the most appropriate
one. If your students are
proficient, they could rearrange
the events of their anecdote,
putting situations that happened
in the middle of the sequence
(a concept technically called
in medias res, which means in
the middle of the issue) so as to
make their descriptions
more compelling.
