Assessment:

• Give students paper and markers to design their own clothesline (or assign this activity for homework). Ask student volunteers to be ready to describe their clotheslines to the class. Let them practice their descriptions with a partner before their final presentations. The partner can give feedback (in English if necessary) about understandability, pronunciation, and accuracy of the description.

1.  I could understand:
all of     most of     some of     none of
Jason’s presentation.
