2. Shared situation for questions 6, 7: Emilio would like to work on his students’ writing skills by using a blog entry about amazing experiences. Here’s the input he will use: Pedro Padilla - My Amazing Jet Ski Experience Posted 3:17 pm We went to Mirror Lake for our summer vacation. Our first day was so busy! People were sailing boats and water skiing, and there were a lot of jet skis and windsurfers. We were watching some jet skiers, and then suddenly my mom said, "Let's try the jet skis!" I was so excited! An instructor from the jet ski school explained how to ride the jet skis. Then we practiced near the beach. Toni and I learned how to go over waves, and after ten minutes, we were riding really fast! Then I rode with my mom, and my sister rode with my dad. It was such a memorable experience! Then we saw some dolphins. They're such awesome animals! They were swimming next to us. I’m looking forward to coming back again! 4 comments Adapted from Styring J. & Tims, N. (2017). Metro 2. Oxford University Press. At the following stage of the lesson, Emilio wants his students to work on the intensifiers “so” and “such” included in the text, since the students will use them later in their own writings to express intensity. He has planned three strategies to achieve his purpose. Which of the strategies Emilio has planned follows the inductive approach?
