There is no hurry if they are working as required and meeting our objectives) SESSION 2 1) Finish the task if you could not do it yesterday. 2) If you did finish the task, compare the information that you found in the internet and the information that you read in the text.

It is designed for early finishers) 3) Complete the information gap charts by answering the questions. 4) Technique 1-2-4 to do the final project. We want to do a FASHION TIMELINE.
