Anticipated Problems & Suggested Solutions: It may be easier to begin with the second
activity, if students are not advanced enough/have absolutely no exposure to causatives.
Instead of doing the post-stage of the first activity, after students read The Walking Dead
the teacher can have them identify words in the book that display cause/effect
relationships.
Contingency Plans (what you will do if you finish early, etc.): It is highly doubtful that
this will end early, but if it does, then students can present their reviews and the class can
critique them and the teacher can provide more feedback about what they went into. If
students feel really comfortable, the teacher can go more into the different causatives,
and/or formally address Expressions of cause and effect on page 70-72, and describe the
differences inherent there.
