Afterwards, as a gist task Ss will have 4 heading and 4 paragraphs and they will be set to find the correct heading for each sentence, for about 2 minutes. Then Ss will go into BORs again for 1 more minute and talk with their peer and check if their assumptions were correct. In the OCFB students will tell me their answers.
