    Hi! I liked this lesson a lot, my students got into the topic and it promoted a lot of discussion. I’d just say that on slide 11-13 the options are 1,1,1 which makes it a little confusing and the answers seem to come up in a strange order – the concept checking question answers first then the multiple choice. Perhaps you could change this? Thanks!

      Thanks, Bruce!
      The questions are answered first to help students decide which answers (1, 2 or 3) are correct. I would say the questions are scaffolding that helps students understand what aspect should be used in each sentence.
      And sorry about the numbering issue – it’s fixed now.

        Great lesson. Maybe a few questions to generate more discussion but I found it quite successful.
