- There should be some vocabulary practise / review at some point.
- Hand students a note card with vocab that came up (can be put into a note card dispenser).
- If there is a class wiki or voicethread, vocab and other relevant language can be added for further practise.
- The lesson could be extended to a discussion appropriate to the level (How important is clothing/outfit in SL/RL? Why? Do you buy clothing in SL?
- Lesson could be extended to teach shopping vocab and do customer-shop assistant role-plays (in a shop setting)
Homework (optional): Students can write about this or another outfit+ add pics. This could be a notecard handed to the teacher or even better written in the wiki on a new page with this topic, so there would be a collection of ss texts. (no teacher feedback or correction) / If there is a class blog, students could also write it there, which would have the added advantage of allowing others to comment.
