Teacher's Notes
- Lesson 6 -

ATTENDANCE SHEETS!

Student's book page 62. "Performance" - Project-work:

Materials:	Student book (click here to see the student's page)
Students:	Groups
Rationale:	Project performance
Method:	Students perform whatever they have prepared. They also evaluate their own and the other groups' performances ("How was the Project?" "How is my learning?" pages 196, 198) and effort ("My Project-Assessment" page 200).
Notes:	As in other Projects, it can be good to record the performances in some way (cassette tape, video tape), giving the students a record of their efforts and also providing useful feedback.

Student's book page 62. "Interviews" Project-work:

Materials:	Student book (click here to see the student page) role cards *(Teacher's Resource 1) (Teacher's Resource 1).*
Students:	Two teams.
Rationale:	Giving opinions.
Method:	The teacher gives role cards to both teams. Team A students are interviewers and Team B students are interviewees. Team B students have instructions ? they will only agree to talk on two topics. Team A students have to ask permission to conduct an interview on their two topics. If the Team B member refuses, then the interviewer must move on and ask another student.
Notes:	When they have successfully interviewed a Team B member, Team A students can have new role cards, or Teams can switch. This activity can be done as well as or instead of "TV Host"

Student's book pages 63-64: "Teacher Needs" - Homework:

Materials:	Student book (1) Student book (2) (click here to see the student page);
Students:	Singly or in groups
Rationale:	Data collection; opinion transfer
Method:	Students can enter their own opinions on the questionnaire, but there will be more interaction (and *use* of the language) if they ask other students, including those in other classes. Having asked a number of students, they can then pool their answers to produce a report about their findings.
Notes:	All of the learning-related questionnaires can be used for surveys or in whatever way the students wish.

Teacher's Notes
- Evaluation Session -

Materials:

Student book; Sign-up sheet; Marking sheets and Marking criteria (Teachers' Resources); Cassette recorder; Student books; Cassette Journals.

Students:

3 or 4 at a time

Rationale:

This is a "Student conversation" in which students talk about their learning needs, goals and achievements. The conversation is thus authentic, in that it directly addresses the needs of the students. They report on their progress during the semester and use the target language to do this.

Method:

At least two weeks before the Session, Students sign-up for the Evaluation Session. (Teachers' Resource). In the Session they talk about their learning in two parts. Information on the Session is in the Students' book:

Notes:

Students need to bring these things to the evaluation:

	Student books (homework, self-assessments, "Time Management");
	"Cassette Journals";

Evaluation Part 1 (up to 5 minutes): Students give their Cassette Journals to the teacher. They then talk together about some of these topics:

	"Language Learning" ("Chat Show" Project - homework).
	"How is my learning?" (assessment unit).
	"Class Minutes" (Individual versions).
	"Feedback" ("Chat Show" Project & homework).
	"Cassette Journal" (Cassette tape)

Evaluation Part 2 (up to 5 minutes):
Students talk together about the English course, referring to the "Time Management" sheet in the book ("Introduction"). They can use the following as a start:

	"Has anything changed (since doing the original activity)"
	"What are our goals now?"
	"What are our plans for future learning?"
	"Do we have anything to say to the teacher?"
