The teacher may ask several students to answer the same question for different possible opinions. Activities Here the teacher may ask students to pair up and tell each other the story in their own words and he himself may act as a co-communicator or a counselor. He can also ask one student to tell the whole class the story in his/her own words.

Finally, the teacher may use each word in a full sentence and ask the students to repeat for possible contextual effects.
