1) Having students take a guess is one of the great ways to motivate and interest students. This method was used a lot throughout this lesson.

2) There are many ways to adjust activities to suit students achievement levels like giving taboo words in hot seat game and so on.

3) Giving students authentic and real life related goals is also helpful to have students engaged in the activities. Here, I made a short video clip using powtoon and natural readers.
