may have hesitations and may not understand the tasks given. They can also become impatient
when they are being given the hand-outs.
Possible solutions: The teacher may repeat a couple of times what the task is in order pupils to
have a better understanding on the concept. While working in pairs, she may check every group

for everybody. Before giving them the hand-out, the teacher should give them the instructions.
