Hi everyone! I am going to be busier that I'd like to this week (aren't we all?...), so I am also going to post my assignment this early on. It has also been a good opportunity to come up with something (hopefully) decent quickly:one of my personal professional aims is in fact to learn to work neatly without asking myself too many questions and getting overstressed in the process! It is designed for a teenager who needs to brush up his English (grammar, mainly...) during the summer, but can be used with groups too. Feedback naturally welcome. Enjoy!

Laura, a very creative activity! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I will use this one in my classes.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you...I am also planning to use it soon. Please let me know how it goes with your class! In particular, am struggling to find out what gets teenagers (AND young adults, come to that...) to THINK CRITICALLy, and am - publicly - hoping this lesson helps. Looking forward to further comments
ReplyDeleteI like the colors. They draw me in! I also like the structure as well as the freedom to get creative. I would have loved learning these type of content.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine idea - especially since slogans sometimes change our language and ideas of correct grammar. Every young person will connect to this lesson because of the McDonald slogan
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! This could also work as an introduction to other stative verbs whose meaning changes when used in the continuous tenses.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool. Like Rhett said, I like the colors. I'm really curious to find out how it works with your student. I like that you provided notes for teachers as well. That will help anyone who wants to use your materials, especially since the headings match the student's handout. Out of curiosity, do the students understand the headings "Lead in, Reflection, etc"? Do you make use of this language?
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered how to use this slogan meaningfully in class and now I have a way to. Thanks
ReplyDeleteAnne Hendler Thank you Anne. Headings are actually more for teachers than for students:-)
ReplyDelete...but nothing prevents from rephrasing headings with students to explain the aims.
Hi Laura,
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry about posting my comments late. I did look and I did write but I think I must have forgotten to click on ‘post’. Don’t be afraid to nudge me if you think I’ve missed your materials! You or any other participant.
Lovely to see you setting yourself personal profesional aims – and yours is an extremely useful one.
A few comments
Very motivating for a teenage student.
A great idea to use this slogan as content.
Attractive and nicely laid out – really simple.
Good sequence of tasks.
I like that the number of WOLs (write on lines) reflect the number of answers (e.g. in the second part of task 2. This is a neat way of adding a Little bit more support.
The colour coding – using red to highlight key words – really works. Well done!
Very clear T notes too – they’d appreciate the detail and the examples.
I’d only change one thing. I’d look at the numbering of the activities and the sub-tasks, imagining you were a student in a class (I know they are only for one student in this case) and I’d ask myself: ‘If I wanted to ask the teacher about this particular task in this particular section, how could I refer to it? Can I say what does that word mean in 3b?’
Something to think about (numbering formats).
