11:42 - 12:02 (20 mins)
12:02 - 12:03 (1 min) Main Body Completing worksheets
Students will need to work individually to complete both worksheets. When the first student has finished one sheet correctly, let the whole class know and give out the first prize/incentive. This will encourage others to work harder towards completing the task. If students need help, be approachable and attentive in providing help and feedback for what they have done and/or are doing.
Students who finish early will then be asked how they went about finding out and deciding which name and description belonged where.
Conclusion
Thank students for completing the task. Collect worksheets from students or have a student collect them. Let them pack up and head off to their next class.
