(2) The others can have 2 points if they write and read thesentence correctly.
(3)The team who can either read it or write the sentence correctly can get one point.

★Reflection:
1. Secret Letter is a good method of practicing “Yes” / “No” questions. Students are willing to guess the secret letter by asking questions. They have to listen to the dialogues between the teacher and other teams carefully, then collect all the information to figure out what the secret lettersare.
2. Encouraging students to set their own secret letter and to lead the activity is another great option. The interaction between student leaders and the class is more active.
3. Running Dictation motivates all students to finish their task. Try to assign low achievers to collect and memorize the words. Most of them can do their job positively. After collecting all the words and writing words down on the worksheet, team members work together to unscramble the sentences and read them aloud to the teacher. Students could practice listening, reading, speaking, and writing skills by the complex task.
