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.
