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.
