Scaffold Ex.5b. to make it a pyramid discussion. Have pairs discuss with another pair and come to an agreement. combine or repair the groups of 4 and have them come to an agreement . Monitor Ss and between each regrouping,do some error correction on the W/B especially where they could use some of the functional language .

Elicit a few final decisions in W/C FB and put a few errors on the W/B for post-task error correction and elicit the correct versions from them
