               rather than on writing or filling in charts. However, if you feel this is insufficient, you may add assessment
               items or use any of the formats in this book for this assessment.
              • Check the students’ answers and, if necessary, offer options to improve them. For example: recognize what
               the problem is (unable to tell why their interpretation may be different from someone else’s, etc.); offer
               solutions (reflect on others’ points of view, analyze the different contexts, etc.); implement them.

              Activity 16
              • Help your students decide on the number of riddles for their anthology, establishing the allotted time for
               the game (which in this practice is 50 minutes in Session 9). This will depend on the number of teams
               and the average length of the riddles.
              • Be sure your students recognize whether the riddles they have chosen are solvable. Some of the ones
               they found may entail really complex assumptions and, while interesting, they may need too much time
               to be solved.
