Focus on form? Mmmm... I think this way of teaching belongs to past times.

I'll use it in my class. I will customize the material for my online class. I hope it works.

The activity is great, but the slips of paper to cut out end up being very small and can't be seen from a distance when pasted to the board. Larger ones would be a good idea. Of course they could write on the board, but I like the idea of doing things differently.
