activity. Once they finished, they will expose their poster to the rest of the classmates
and they will explain what this part is about.
T: In the same groups you will make a conceptual network of a part of chapter two.
Each group has a different part of it and so, you have to write only important words on
it. For example, people’s name, dates, places, important events, etc. This is a
conceptual network (the teacher shows them a picture as an example on the
computer)
