They might remember a couple of them. - The teacher asks the students to watch carefully and try to remember the gestures and their meaning in different cultures. - The students then get in pairs and try to draw the gesture and write its meaning in each country they have seen in the video. - The teacher checks who gets the highest number of correct answers with the whole class.

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible
