Follow-up
• On the board, write any new vocabulary from the cloze, and provide the
meaning of these words in the children’s first language. Then ask them to
write some more instructions describing what they can do on the
computer, e.g. how to do a web search. Once more, provide the English
words that the children need to write their instructions.
• For other procedures and instructions, see Activities 2.9, 3.4, 4.12, 4.15,
4.18, 5.8, 6.10, 6.16.
