Feedback and Error Correction (8-10 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

Take some notes during the tasks for the delayed correction. We'll end on a positive note and if correction is needed we'll comment on their common mistakes. Write them on the board, give them a chance to identify the errors themselves and ask them to contrast what they actually said with what they should have said in pairs.
