questions and discuss their answers.

Adaptation and extension

• To encourage longer discussions around each question
and also to provide an opportunity for peer correction,
pairs can be matched into small groups before
completing step 4.
• Pairs could be challenged to make new questions with
the vocabulary and then ask the questions to other
students. Each group then shares any recurring answers
with the class.
