Activity 4 (continues)
• Divide your students into teams
to work together throughout
the practice. Remember to
change partners from practice
to practice, so they experience
working with different people.
Ask them to think about
the reasons for choosing a
determinate historical event,
because it should be the basis
for their team’s agreements
throughout the practice. It is
also important to remind them
that the established addressee
will define the scope of their
historical report.
• They may give broader reasons
for their decisions when
speaking rather than writing. Be
sure to give students enough
time to practice writing their
reasons, since that will help
them build more complex
structures, which will be useful
when going beyond B1.
• RB Box can either extend the
current practice or provide
material for developing it. If
you have enough material, take
time during the practice to go
through the Reader’s Book to
foster curiosity and improve
reading skills.
Activity 5
• Make sure your students identify the three steps of the study plan and that they understand each activity
to be completed. Ask a student to read the tasks out loud so they can understand the activities they will
complete in order to produce their report. You could instead provide some time to read it silently and then
have students ask their questions.
• Remember that this is a good time to show your students the final version of a report, as shown in
Activity 29. That way, your students will have an idea of what they’re aiming for. This is useful for giving
them an idea of what they want to accomplish and help them check which activities will take more time,
which can be skipped, and which can be done in a different order. Remember, the book is to help you, not
constrain you.

• If possible, show your students more examples of reports. Have them work with different textual features
(typeface, letter size, with/without headings, etc.) so they can compare them and have ideas that will be
useful to them later when they create their own report.
