•Therefore, the teacher asks students to make groups of three people in order to develop an activity in which students have to organize some words that are in an incorrect order. This activity takes 10 minutes.  

•When the previous activity is finished, each group has to say the different words but in its correct order. 

•Then, another activity to reinforce what students have been taught is to find words about family members in an alphabet soup. 

•Finally, the teacher asks the students to take a piece of paper in which they have to write about how their family is composed and how many they are in order to know if the students understood about members of the family.
