2. Now, it is time to make groups! We will need 6 groups: 3 of them are going to create two questions about the graphic assigned to them from page 46 and the remaining 3 groups will create 2 affirmation about the graphics from the same page.

Why do people emigrate. 6th Session. Wednesday 1/12

Hi guys! You have learned that like us, people sometimes have to emigrate. But, why? It's depend on the person. For example, we are toys and we come from another planet because on our planet there are no children to play with us. Now, we bring you a new challenge: you must create a list of questions to interview your language assistant.
