Solutions/Plan B

1. Present next class

2. If I sense the class is too short, I will give
them more time to work on their homophone
jigsaw. I will ask for 2 examples and a nicely
done poster
3. I will move on; they will focus on the
homophone exercise or depending on how
crazy they are I will get them to do a quick
free right on how they feel about uniforms,
what are the benefits? What are the
disadvantages?. Then I would get them to
switch and peer-edit their partners text.
Homework (to assign and collect)

1. Collect homework on the hook

2. No homework will be assigned.
