Great topic choice and the comics are perfect examples.
With respect to your writing prompt, I would clarify the organization behind the call for articles. Who are they? I would assume it's a magazine or maybe an online platform but without a name, it is difficult for me to confidently answer the question "Who is your audience?" If you invent and add a fictional magazine title like Business Weekly, then it would be easier to determine: Oh, this is a magazine read by business professionals.
Ashley Dresser Thank you for your feedback. Yes you're right, I will take your advice into consideration in order to improve my lesson. Thank you again.
Hi Lama, I couldn't comment on the pdf in Google so i'm adding some comments here.
Very professional looking materials. I like the two cartoons in step 1 – they’ll be motivating and are a good springboard for discussion. I wonder about copyright though – it’s probably a good idea to include the source.
Step 2. The task is fine but I think the instructions could be improved to remove ambiguity. Eg. 1. Read the text and answer the questions. a. What kind of text is it? b. Where would you expect to see a text like this? c. What is the topic of the text? d. What is the reader asked to do?
I like activity 3 but when you do an activity with a series of verbs as answers, it’s best to keep all the verb forms the same. I’d change ‘smile’ to ‘smiling’.
Step 3 – very clear staging. Ashley Dresser Good points in your feedback.
