Demonstrate their ability to understand the text through a reinvestment assignment.

Discuss issues connected with the topic of the oral presentation of the classmates.

Evaluation criteria (how will you know that the students have learned?)
Formative Evaluation (C-1)
Formative Evaluation (C-2) (We are equals Worksheet)
related content/essential knowledge:
functions, grammar/structure, vocabulary, phonology
Subject-verb agreement; Usage of tenses;
anticipated language
unpredictable
anticipated problems and solutions
Students are likely not to be willing to work in pairs and/or individually, as they are used to group work. (During group
work tend to speak French (first language) 90% of the time). Might form groups with number of students of their
preference (5 instead of 4; 3 instead of 2 for pair work; few people do not participate in group activities). Some students
might resist participating in the learning activities.
I will not force unwilling students to work in groups; however will offer help. If students form groups randomly, task
requirements will be adjusted accordingly. I will do my best to keep students engaged and provide a variety of activities
that facilitate speaking English.
