Here's my project for week 2. I used a blog post which I found in HuffPost as the base for a set of reading and speaking activities and also, vocabulary practice. These activities are intended for B1 adult learners and the text was graded to fit their level.
I used this text inspector: http://www.englishprofile.org/wordlists/text-inspector
And this is the source with the original text:

Hi!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your materials for week 2.
Very professional looking materials with a clean, sharp design. The student materials are easy to navigate and have just the right amount of white space in my opinion. The T notes too! I think this topic would be motivating and blog posts are a great source of authentic materials.
I like the support you have added in terms of including examples, referencing a paragraph (ex 5a) and bold or underline in the actual text.
Some tasks (1, 2, 7 and 8) don’t specify whether they are speaking ro writing – so this could be made more explicit – either on the student page or in the T notes.
I wonder about copyright. But that’s something we’ll look at today. Sometimes we can’t just embed a text into our materials – and we have to keep it separate in its original source.
