Working collaboratively on a Google document

The activity created on this Google document was thought to motivate students to work collaboratively, in order to improve and expand the vocabulary they might use in the third part of the Preliminary English Test. By doing this task, not only they can communicate their ideas in the same document, but also they'll be able to do it from home, at their own pace, allowing those who are shy to work without being exposed. And what's more, students will feel interested and engaged in using technology, so the process of learning will surely be more enjoyable. I have already used this activity with my 5 Adol class and they were able to express a lot of ideas, and learn vocabulary from their own classmates. I gave them a deadline for the completion of the task (one week), and they did parts a-e at home. Then, they discussed parts f and g in class. Although two of them couln't insert the audio file, they learnt from the other classmates how to to it and did it later. They also dealt with language functions they need to practise (agreeging, disagreeing, speculating).
