Students read the text and go through the interactive illustration at the top of the page. The illustration enables them to explore patterns of reflection and refraction of light rays that hit a variety of interfaces at different angles of incidence. Students can have vocabulary and online dictionary consultation if necessary. Then students watch the video. The teacher encourages class discussion on these materials. After following these steps students do the test. They test their understanding of the concepts covered (Reflection and refraction ) with the problem set; there are ten questions.Students get automatic answers. The teacher can check the test with the whole class. Students fill in the last column of the initial table from the beginning of the lesson: what they have learner during this class. •Possible difficulties for the students Some students may need more guidance than others and may have problems with the language.
