Choose a grade, and in a paragraph of approximately 100 words, explain why TEXT A is suitable for
the grade you have selected to design learner-centred activities to develop the skills in Question
1.2 below. In your explanation, include aspects such as your learners’ age, backgrounds, interests
and language proficiency.
Text A would be suitable for high school students, specifically those in grades 10-12. The article
addresses the importance of mental health, workplace stress, and the benefits of spending time in
nature. High school students are at an age where they are starting to navigate the challenges of
stress and mental health issues, especially with the pressure of exams and future career decisions.
The article also explores the impact of nature on cognitive function and creativity, which aligns with
the interests of students in this age group. Additionally, high school students have a good grasp of
the English language and can comprehend the content of the article effectively.
QUESTION 1.2 ACTIVITY DESIGN
Provide a detailed description of your activities when using TEXT A as a starting point to teach
three English language skills as taught in the study guide. Explain and describe how you can use
the text for an Oral (Speaking), Reading, and Writing Skills Development Activity in an English
lesson.
Activity 1: Speaking/Oral
1a. Duration: 20 minutes
1b. Resources: Whiteboard, markers, printed copies of Text A
1c. Outcome: To improve students' speaking and communication skills
1d. Description of the activity: Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a
different section of Text A. Instruct the groups to discuss the benefits of spending time in nature as
outlined in their assigned section. Each group should come up with a presentation to share their
findings with the class. Encourage students to use the vocabulary and phrases from the text in
their presentations to practice speaking and oral communication skills.
1e. Assessment: Assess students based on their ability to effectively present the information from
the text, use appropriate vocabulary, and engage the class in their presentation. This can be done
through a teacher observation and whole-class assessment.
