​ACTIVITY SUGGESTION                          
For weaker students, consider the possibility of using the worksheet on its own (without the cut-up sentences).

For a stronger class, consider the possibility of having your students memorize the sentence strips before handing them back to you (or perhaps folding the paper strips and putting them in their pockets - to be referred to only if truly needed!)

​ACTIVITY SUGGESTION
