• When you finish, do the assessment.
• If you have any questions, or you need further explanations, click on . This links with Consultes a un professor, where students can send a message to a teacher.

• Methodology: MUDs usually present grammar or vocabulary contents, so it’s better to insert them into your activity program as an extra activity to do.

There are two possibilities: 1) as a reinforcement worksheet (revising what has been practised in class) 2) as a pre-unit activity (only to test pupils’ knowledge).

• Timing: one session in the computer room.
• Complementary material: The pupils will need a worksheet which is their work plan and it could be elaborated from two different points of view: one which contains the instructions of the activity (using the computer), and another one which gets into the unit program, practising the contents without using the computer.

This activity (or any other vocabulary activity) can be complemented with the games that you will find at
