understood the topic. This way, the teacher will know
what to reinforce. It may be
sentence structure, past participle verbs, or
pronunciation.

- All stages: We will ask students for active participation

in class given the instructions to do
each activity.

student is when pronouncing the past participle verbs
and forming complete sentences.
