    izquierdo tiene 4 líneas lo suficientemente grandes como para que los alumnos escriban un nombre en ellas y dos
    columnas de recuadros para tachar el que aplique.

    Before class: Make one copy of the worksheet for every four students in the class.
    In class:
    1. Divide students into groups of four and give each group a copy of the worksheet.
    2. Tell them to write the names of every member of their groups next to the first challenge
    on the worksheet.
    3. Explain that each one should take the challenge in turns and tick the can or can’t
    column next to their name according to whether they are successful or not.
    4. Encourage students to do the first challenge as an example. Be prepared to answer any
    questions.
    5. When students finish, ask them to follow the same procedure with the rest of the
    challenges until they complete the chart. OPTION:
    PE If time is short,
    6. Once they have finished, ask a group: Could (name of a student in the group) count you can have
    down from 20 to 0 in English in 15 seconds? Right, how about (another student)? Make students report
    R on L students reflect on why you are asking them to report using could. the information to
    7. Tell them to write down a summary of their results. Encourage them to use linkers and another group

    POSSIBLE FOLLOW UP: You can ask students to make new and bigger groups (for example, if there were 9 groups
    of four students, have them rearranged into 4 groups of 9 students, formed by one member from each original group)
    in order to compare their reports orally and create a whole class summary. For example:
    Pablo, Sara and Julia can count down from 20 to 0 in English in 15 seconds, but Luis and Mario can’t.
    15 people in the class can’t say the days of the week in English in 5 seconds, but 20 can., Etc.

    IDEAS FOR EVALUATION: You can ask students to create a set of five different challenges and challenge members
    of their family or friends for homework and write a similar report to the one produced during the follow up. You can
    check the reports yourself or having students exchange their reports and check them focusing on particular features
    such as the use of linking devices and spelling.
