Select the correct answers from the drop-down lists.
Tasks usually have specific outcomes which are in some way. For example:
A writing task involving filling in a paragraph from a choice of phrases may be a half-way house on the road to writing a paragraph without guidance and it will have a right/wrong .  Either the learners make the right choices, or they don't.
A task to write a 300-word essay on a subject of the learner's choosing is almost completely but it will still have a measurable outcome (although it may be quite difficult to identify success or failure).
Activities do not usually have outcomes because it is the of doing the activity which is more important.  It is the of the task which is important, not the ideas which come from it.
Getting students to tell each other what characters in a video clip they find the most and least attractive is certainly valuable practice and also requires them to understand and provide .  The process is what is important here because we cannot (and don't need to) the outcomes in any useful way.
