would like to plan this unit for.

- Use the 5 exercise-builders in Hot Potatoes to create tasks for your students (Jclose;

JMatch; JQuizz; JCross and JMix). Each task should have no fewer than 10 points

to be completed or done. Take into account that each activity should have a clear

objective which you will need to explain later in your assessment.

your partner’s work. Write your assessment on your partner’s profile in the social

network.
