An example of how we exploit LL Cheat sheet-
Students can prepare a cheat sheet bring it to class when they write the
first draft of their process writing task.
Only small notes and lexical groupsare allowed on this sheet. No
sentences!

Aims- Cheat sheetWe’d like to encourage students to… use the concepts and ideas through the
themes; use the language they study
meaningfully and productively; recognize the learning value in an
assessment tool.
