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: Wonder with words
TIME: 10 minutes
AIMS: To produce language with unfamiliar words.
TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS:
Divide the class in groups of 3.
Hand out a dictionary to each group.
Explain the activity to the students and give an example of what is expected.
They have 10 minutes to complete the activity.
Take another 10 minutes to check the answers with the whole class and get them to
read their creations out loud.
Note down the common mistakes for a later correction or for another class.
Put all the sights together to form a travelling magazine.
Have fun!
MATERIALS:
Dictionary, one per group.
Instructions.
Authentic text (Scotland travel guide)
INSTRUCTIONS:
We are writing history! Read carefully the given text and select 1 word that you have never
used before or you didn´t know the meaning.
