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 Sheet
TIME: 10-15 minutes
AIMS:
With the aid of dictionaries, students are required to work through the
questions on the sheet in order to improve their understanding of the meaning,
form and pronunciation of the target language.
TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS:
- Hand out worksheets to students, and explain that they are to work through
the provided sheet
- Offer assistance to students where needed
- Allow students to peer mark each others work sheets
- Drill all definitions and pronunciation with students
MATERIALS:
15 Oxford English Dictionaries
15 Dictionary Quiz Sheets
15 Copies of selected text
