                                                                                   provided, question details, etc.);
                                                                                   implement them.

                                                                                 • Help your students realize
                                                                                   how important it is to detect

                                                                                   to become successful English
                                                                                   users (strengths) as well as the

                                                                                   stage, they will become

                                                                                   you and others and they will
                                                                                   move towards autonomy.
              • Help students establish different details involved in their performance. They can understand the strategies
               used to participate in collective activities (two-way, teams, whole class), the strategies used when facing
               difficulty or problems and how to resolve them, how to avoid prejudice or stereotypes towards others in
               the classroom or beyond the school community, etc.

              Activity 30
              • Remind your students that a language product, such as the anthology, has different purposes, such as
               learning English by means of using it, sharing the work carried out with the community so as to offer
               entertainment and leisure, as well as being a chance to learn riddles in English.
              • Help your students realize that depending on how fancy their anthology is as an object (for instance, the
               use of good-quality illustrations, cleanliness, well-planned layout) and on their content (riddles appropriate
               for the addressees: compelling, challenging, funny), their impact on the addressees will be better.

              Activity 31
              • Explain how to assess the performance of teammates when they are trying to reach a goal together.
              • Use this chance to exchange opinions with your students about the pros of working on a team where all
               members respect and empathize with each other.
              • Have them think about the actions and attitudes that foster the best conditions to work as a team.
              • Make sure your students offer feedback so as to improve the performance of all of their team members.
