Assignment C, Part 2.1
Three follow up activities for exploiting the authentic text with advanced students
Design 3 activities to further exploit your selected text after using it for a comprehension lesson.
Items should be presented as material other teachers could use. A teacher would not have to use all three
activities, and they do not need to be linked to one another.
At least one activity must be of your own design and not copied from another source.
You can use or adapt ideas you have found on the Internet or in teachers' resource books for the other two
activities if you wish to, but provide a reference if you do this.
For each activity provide the following information: name of activity, time (how long activity would take), aims,
teacher's instructions, materials:
TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS means instructions for the teacher to follow, NOT what the teacher would say
to the students.
e.g. 1. Divide the class into an even number of small groups of three to four.
2. Give half the groups handout A, and the other half handout B. etc.
MATERIALS: You should include any material the teacher would need for this activity. You can submit
materials separately or in this document. If it is submitted separately, make it clear to the marker where s/he
can find it.
a) A dictionary activity (see Unit 2), for vocabulary and dictionary skills
development AFTER the class read or listened to your selected text
This could be used later in the same lesson or in another lesson. You do not have to use the vocabulary
items you have selected for pre-teaching.
NAME OF ACTIVITY: Dictionary Quiz (see worksheet for activity a) Part 2.1)
TIME: 15 minutes
AIMS: To use dictionary to locate words, meaning, class of word and use in a syntax
TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS:
Handout dictionary, worksheet and the text to each student
Give instructions as how to use dictionary
Each student must answer all questions individually
Monitor and Help if needed
Drill the definitions and pronunciation
Feedback
Synonyms, Antonyms and Definitions
URL: https://www.powerthesaurus.org/
MATERIALS:
Dictionary Quiz worksheet
Reading text “The advantages of Mixed Marriages”
Dictionary, pen and blank papers
b) An activity, which requires students to use online resources
See Unit 10: Using Computers in Class. You may find it useful to do some extra research for ideas. This task
should be designed for use in a follow up lesson. It could require students to find out more about the topic of
the text, or to provide further practice of some of the language (vocabulary or grammar) in the text.
You can include additional materials if you wish, but for this activity you must provide a worksheet for the
students. This should include clear instructions for students to follow. In the worksheet you MUST give
examples of websites students can use for this activity.
