17. This lesson plan is the basis for a really good class.  Please, answer my comments,
include the adjustments in a different colour and resubmit your work.
Try to associate the activities with more meaningful practice, set them in meaningful
contexts.
If you have questions, let me know.
Cecilia
Dear Natalia
This second submission contains basic language mistakes which have failed it. You also
included elicitation of the new target language during the presentation stage.
Please, check the model lesson plan I have created based on this one, take it as a model to
follow and work hard on language accuracy (language mistakes).
I think that teaching both clothes and the seasons may be too much for one lesson. See
how I have adapted your plan.
