2. Design and submit three pieces of teaching material you would use as follow-up language or skills practice activities after the students have done comprehension activities.
Each activity could be used as the final stage of a comprehension lesson or in a subsequent lesson.
Each piece of material should be related to the original text in terms of topic or language.
Each one should focus on a different skill or aspect of language (they should not, for example, all be pronunciation activities).
All the materials should be clearly linked to the text in some way.
Provide all the materials that you would hand out to or show to students. Include the aim of each activity and instructions that another teacher could follow.
If you choose Class A or B, and it is relevant to your ideas, please specify which English speaking country they are in. For class D, say what age range the teenagers are.
Ensure you reference the original texts correctly.
Before starting and again before submitting your assignment, please check though How Assignment 2 will be assessed. (please link to this doc)
