Summing-up exercise B1/22-3.7

Comments

In the summing-up exercise (B1/21-3.7), only the question corresponds to the aim of the module. The authors took advantage of the subject to ask questions “just for fun”, see how much general knowledge the learners have already and see if they can guess from the clothes of the period, for instance. It is not important if there are no answers given. It should be done in the manner of a television quiz game for example. Quite often, for example, do not find the first names of the characters by themselves, but when they see them written down they remember that they knew them.
