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
TIME: 15 min
AIMS: Use a dictionary to locate words and understand the meaning, form and
pronunciation
TEACHER'S INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Divide the class into pairs
2. Hand out dictionaries and activity sheet
3. Monitor and assist the students if necessary
4. Once the activity is completed, drill the definitions with the students
MATERIALS:
1. Dictionary quiz worksheets
2. Dictionary for each pair of students
3. Pens
4. Reading text:” Air Pollution Robs Us of Our Smarts and Our Lungs”
Worksheet instructions: Using a dictionary to assist you, research the following words
and provide a definition for each one in the space provided
Particles
Carbon dioxide
olfactory nerves
