job.
(3) The class re-reads the job.
(4) The teacher asks the class as a whole or calls one student to
demonstrate the job. (For students who need a lot of attention from
their classmates or adults, this is a great way to have them focused
on the lesson, yet at the same time get the individual attention they
crave.)

at once to write their translations next to the jobs in English

students read the job in English and then in their native
language.
