Comprehension & Production	Moment 5	2 weeks	- Students read legends in groups<br>- Practice comprehension strategies: predicting, questioning, summarizing<br>- Write their own legends inspired by those read	- Use guided questions<br>- Scaffold writing tasks to match students’ levels
Recognition	Moment 6	4 days	- Students share their legends and comprehension insights<br>- Create a "Legend Gallery" in the classroom	- Incorporate oral presentations<br>- Use peer feedback to reinforce understanding
Correction	Moment 7	3 days	- Review written legends and comprehension tasks<br>- Provide constructive feedback<br>- Revise stories and summaries	- Use teacher and peer review<br>- Emphasize positive reinforcement
Phase 3: Intervention		3 weeks
Integration	Moment 8	1 week	- Connect legends to students' own cultures and experiences<br>- Develop cultural posters or presentations	- Foster intercultural dialogue<br>- Use creative arts (drawing, acting) to deepen understanding
