1. HOW TO USE THE LISTS
1. Dedicate a week to the practice and learning of each of the lists.
Do this week after week always, rolling the lists from time to time.
2. You have many activities to choose from. So make one different activity a day for each list.
3. At the entrance students must say a word of a list, words must not be repeated. This means that
if a student that came in first, says a verb already, the next student must not say the same verb.
This will force them to learn more than one verb a day.
4. You can combine ideas from some lists to other ones.
