Exercise 1: In this section we will include a series of definitions of concept that appear
along the unit and the names of several characters related to the unit. In both cases
we are going to try to use relative clauses and general characteristics for definitions
such as avoiding the repetition of the concept they have to define or paraphrasing
some words.
Exercise 2: For doing this activity we have two different possibilities: in little groups or
all the students together.
 Working in groups: we will prepare the same number of copies as groups and
we will cut the square horizontally so that in each peace of paper will be a
question and an answer. Students should put them together so that when
doing the activity properly they will close a circle.
 Working as a class: we will cut one page of the exercise and we will give one (or
more, depending on the number of students) to each of our students. One will
begin by reading the question they have and the person who has the answer
will say it (the rest of the students can say if this is right or not). Once we have
the right answer, the person having it will read their question and we will
continue in this way until we get the answers for all the questions.
