Notes for teachers

在文檔中 NET working (頁 51-56)

Project journals

For the eight tasks in this unit, students will need a project journal in which to make notes and write down their ideas, plans and task work. These journals could be the small exercise books available at most schools. Once the unit is completed, students will add their project journals to their portfolio folder.

Portfolio folders

Each task has one or more activities. Students must complete the activities and submit their work, if applicable, to the teacher. It is recommended that a portfolio folder is maintained by each student. Some teachers buy a hanging file to hold the student portfolio folders. Students are responsible for keeping all their completed work in the folder and the project journal can be placed in their folder for safe-keeping.

When students are working in groups (2 to 4) one copy of the piece of work should be submitted to the teacher for marking. Once marked, each student should get a copy of the work to place in their portfolio folder.

Timetabling

Tasks may take 1 or 2 double lessons depending upon the type of activity involved and the level of the students’ English.

Equipment

The final task requires the use of computers and the Microsoft Publisher Programme or Microsoft Word Programme to design a brochure. Teachers do not necessarily need to know how to use these programmes or make a brochure themselves. The students will be able to work through the programme by themselves.
