The teacher discusses the structure of the poster: the organization, the illustration, the structure, the strong and weak parts of the poster by asking guided questions, like: What do you see? What is it about? How do you know? What is the structure/ organization of this poster? What do you like about this poster/ What student could do better?

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through reading/listening

A teacher recycles the Past Simple tense with students by highlighting the verbs in the student's poster.

The teacher hangs the checklist on display, for students' independent work.
