Regular reviews in the Activity BookThe purpose of the double-page review section in the Activity Book is to revise the main learning points at the end of each unit, giving you an opportunity to evaluate how much children have understood. Always start this lesson by revising the language of the unit, using flashcards to focus on vocabulary.It is also useful to sing the songs again to help children memorize the key words. You may wish to make notes on which children are still having difficulty in recognizing or producing words.These notes can be recorded later on the teacher's evaluation sheet (see below). Go through the Activity Book review activities. Explain first what children have to do to complete each exercise. Give children time to check their answers.
