ANTICIPATING STUDENTS’ PROBLEMS:
I anticipate that the following may cause problems: the students may need further help
and extra indications in solving the task, therefore I have created worksheets with
images to help them understand the task. If the images don’t provide enough
information, the indications will be given in Romanian.
I anticipate that the students may finish earlier the tasks so I provided an extra task based
on reading comprehension and circling the correct answer.
