Excellent worksheet!
Silvina, My students loved this lesson. We started a little late so did not have a full hour, but we were able to use most of the activities. The students were engaged throughout the lesson and did quite a bit of talking. I highly recommend it to other teachers. I'm looking forward to checking out your other lessons.
Kind regards, Michael
