Free Activity (25-30 minutes) • To provide students with practice of the task language

By now, Ss will be exhausted due to the continuous regrouping, exercises and activities. Ss by this time would be unable to absorb anymore information and thus, I would have to spend this segment of the lesson on a free activity of the Ss choice. The idea here is to give Ss break from all the grammar, writing and listening and allow their speaking skills to be exercised without stress. One way to spend this segment is by playing a game but only in English, immediate correction of their grammar and pronunciation is not stressed. This allows me help Ss unleash their creativity.

Closure (15-21 minutes) • To prepare Ss by solving difficult questions

- Worksheet of word puzzle. - Each two Ss will work together to finşsh the word puzzle.
