5. Use the checklist below for self-assessment. Tell students to work together with their partner to check spelling of words containing unfamiliar sounds, the use of apostrophes, capitalization, and punctuation using the checklist provided. Differentiated Instruction For this activity you can use the Speedometer Strategy to catch kinesthetic students’ attention. Explain they will use their arms to show whether or not they accomplished each of the aspects mentioned in the checklist. 6. Make necessary adjustments and, on a sheet of paper, create a final illustrated version of your report. Read instructions aloud and have students check all the aspects that had “no” as an answer in Activities 4 and 5 so they may create a final version of their report. Tell them to take out the graphic material they brought for homework to illustrate it. Ask students what the text says about injuries (they can happen unexpectedly). Explain that it means that sometimes we can’t prevent accidents, but the text gives some pieces of advice that could save our lives; ask some students to mention them (they are on p. 38). Ask them if they can think of other similar actions. Product: Illustrated Report In this lesson, they will write their introduction, conclusion, and title, and they will decide what graphic material they will use to illustrate it. Monitor closely while they work to offer any help that may be required. This activity will be your fourth evidence in this unit; ask them to file it following the procedure you prefer. ICT Box Promote the development of digital abilities on students by suggesting them to perform this task. Have them focus on using them to foster communication and collaboration among them. Self-evaluation You could read the statements in the box together to make sure everybody understands what they need to self-evaluate. Read the tip provided and make sure to offer individual support to those students who detected areas of opportunity. How can we help each other to improve our work? Encourage students to describe what they did during this lesson to provide peer assessment.

Read their report and provide peer assessment in the chart below. Organize the class into teams by joining two pairs together. Read instructions aloud and explain that they will read each other’s recommendations and use the chart to confirm understanding, legibility, and to provide feedback about some other aspects. Read each of the statements aloud to clarify any doubts students may have.
