Anticipated Problems & Suggested Solutions: Students may get confused with the instructions of the Prop activity. Therefore, the teacher needs to
demonstrate and model the activity before the students can begin.

Contingency Plans: If there is not enough time, then the teacher can reduce the number of practice reviews and focus more on the listening aspect
of the lesson that includes the prop activity.
