Test #2 (8-10 minutes) • Check students' use of the target language again and compare with the first test

I'll give students another exercise to answer. They will match the weather words to their pictures. They will have ten pictures and ten words and they will match them together. They will work individually first, then in groups. After finishing we will check the answers together.
