Procedure: The teacher enters the classroom, greets the students, announces the evaluation lesson
and proposes a revision activity in which they will clarify and rethink the already taught
knowledge. The teacher tells them that she has hidden some tricky questions in order to make

Activity 2 - Didactic game - Pair Work

Aim: To enable students to interact with each other, to check students' knowledge related to the
topic.
Procedure: The teacher gives the instructions for this didactic game. The students will be required
to work in pairs of two as they are seated. Each pair of students will chose four tickets from a pile
from the teacher's desk. Each ticket contains a sentence which can be either right, either wrong
from any point of view (Annex 1). The first pair to start will receive from the teacher 2 signs: red
and green. If the sentence on their ticket is correct from any point of view, one of them has to
raise the green sign. If the sentence is wrong, one of them has to raise the red sign, to state and to
argument any correct alternative they offer. The teacher will also present the students the marking
scheme.

Activity 3 - Auto evaluation

Aims: To help students in having a better understanding upon their personal strong and weak
points.
Procedure: Pupils are required to calculate their score. They will be told that each correct answer
worth 5 points. The final score of each group will be written down by the teacher in her notebook
(0 points = grade 6, 5 points = grade 7, 10 = 8, 15 = 9, 20 = 10). These numbers will constitute
half of the final grade. The other half will be represented by the grade on pupils' portfolios. Each
missing work will mean -1 point from the maximum grade. The final grade will be the arithmetic
mean between the didactic game grade and the portfolio grade.
