Evaluation Tool Photocopy the self-assessment worksheet provided and give it to each student so they can evaluate themselves individually. This instrument is very useful to help them identify their own skill gaps so they can know where to focus their attention and assume responsibility for their own learning process. It is very important to guide students once they have finished working with it so they can use their answers to set realistic goals by themselves. Once you give the worksheet to each of your students, read instructions aloud and make sure they understand what each face stands for. Ask volunteers to read each of the statements included and, if necessary, have them identify the activity in which they practiced that skill so they can recall if they could do it or not. When they finish answering, tell them to paste the worksheet in their notebooks and give them some time to write the goals they want to attain concerning the skill(s) they think they need to improve.

Work in pairs to read the tale.
1
Once when a lion, the king of the jungle, was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down on him. This soon awakened the lion, who placed his huge paw on the mouse and opened his big jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O King!” cried the little mouse. “Forgive me this time. I shall never repeat it and I shall never forget your kindness. And who knows, I may be able to do you a good turn one of these days!” The lion was so tickled by the idea of the mouse being able to help him, that he lifted his paw and let him go. The Lion and the Mouse by Aesop
Some time later, a few hunters captured the lion and tied him to a tree. After that, they went in search of a wagon to take him to the zoo. Just then the little mouse happened to pass by. On seeing the lion’s plight, he ran up to him and gnawed away the ropes that bound the king of the jungle. “Was I not right?” said the little mouse, very happy to help the lion.

Review The aim of this section is to have students perform communicative activities in teams or pairs so they can practice the skills they learned during the unit. It is a great opportunity to give individualized support to struggling students. Another useful strategy is to promote tutoring between pairs, so advanced students may help their classmates. In any case, monitor them closely while they work on these activities so they feel confident enough to attain the achievements by themselves.
