Teacher Tips & Notes

• Create a visible OSASCOMP poster/timeline and point to it during tasks.
• Allow L1 brainstorming for ideas, but require English for final sentences.
• Fast finishers: add origin & material or justify choices (“because…”).
• Common errors to monitor: color before size; placing purpose incorrectly; overloading 4–5 adjectives.
• Assessment idea (10 pts): Accuracy (4), Range (3), Fluency/Pronunciation in role-play (3).
