                                                  could be presented as a lexical chunk of language (E.g. It’

                                                  review comparatives by getting students into pairs and
                                                  comparing their answers.

                                                  Have stronger groups give their answers during feedback in
                                                  full sentences. E.g. “I think the richest sports team in 2016
                 Assessment                       was…” Provide a competitive ‘game’ element to the task
                                                  when telling students the quiz answers.
