Hi, Itiana. Thanks for sending your tasks. But I would like to say that I disagree with you about the second activity. I don´t think it is a task based approach activity. A task based approach activity is something like that: "Go to the Internet and try to find out two sites about environment.Then, copy the sources and tell us what you learn about it".
So, in this kind of activity you can expect the student to do something by himself/herself or with the help of other person.
In this case..I think we have a task based activity...do you agree?
