Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
Here is my week 1 assignment. My apologies for the delay.
The short text I have chosen is a quote by famous graffiti artist Banksy :
“People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish ... but that’s only if it’s done properly.”
And here is the wraparound materials that I have imagined for the art and design students that I will be teaching next year (Upper intermediate/B2-C1)

I am quite used to adapt coursebooks to my students' needs but I don't feel very confident in my ability to create original materials. So any feedback would be most helpful !!

  2. Hi Nabila,

    Thanks for sharing your materials. Creating your own materials is only a short step away from adapting exisiting materials so you should have more confidence in your abilities! These materials are good – and the topic is inspiring for our context (and others).

    I am assuming that from ‘ACTIVIIES’ onwards … this is the student worksheet. First of all, you’ve included a good sequence of activities and amanaged to build a really solid unit fo work around the Banksy quote.

    Congratulations on your very clear instructions. This is often an aspect that people have problems with. I like that you have included information regarding the interaction too (pairs, groups). It’s all very user-friendly.

    I think it would be helpful to have a space – lines – under the jumbled quote where students can write the unjumbled version.

    For the final writing task, I’d be inclined to write a title for students to use ore ven a choice of titles. But that’s just a suggestion and others might like the ‘openness’ of the task.

    Well done!

  3. Hi Katherine,

    Thank you so much for your feedback!!! It is most valuable to me and it helps me feel a little bit more confident :)

    And thanks a lot for your suggestions. They will certainly enhance the students' worksheet.

    That's great!
