Junior English

Introductory Unit – ‘Me, Myself and I’

NOTES to NOTE:


 * During the course of this introductory unit diagnostic assessments need to be carried out (as per Dept policies)

Make allowances for these lesson-long tests during this unit.


 * It is important, at this time, that expectations w.r.t. a reading programme, spelling/vocab programme, journal writing are established clearly. Action English books are a useful resource to get underway as well.
 * This unit is fairly self-explanatory. All tasks are stand-alone and focused on either group or individual work, with plenty of opportunity for discussion with new students. Use as many or as few as you wish.
 * There are no formal assessment tasks in this diagnostic unit. You might perhaps like to turn a piece of writing into an assessed task.
 * All of this stuff is to be found on the shared drive is you wish to adapt for your own individual classes.
