Student's book page 94. "Rehearsal" Project work:

Materials: Student's book (Click here), masks.
Students: Whole class
Rationale: Project rehearsal.
Method: Students rehearse whatever they have produced so far. This can be a good time for teacher-input on many topics (linguistic, dramatic, grammatical, counseling, etc.)
Notes: ‘‘

Student's book page 95. "A Letter to Myself" - Homework:

Materials: Student's book (click here to see the student's page).
Students: Singly
Rationale: Self-assessment; student record; reminder of learning goals
Method: Each student writes a letter to him/herself. Having given this to the teacher, the student will receive it a year later (when they will no longer be on the language Program). This will be a good time to look back on what the student was thinking when writing the letter, and perhaps to re-evaluate events that have happened during that year. It could be that students will want to re-assess their situation. It could be that it will simply be interesting!
Notes: Students should supply their own paper and envelopes for this activity, since they are giving themselves a personal message!

Students give this letter to the teacher in the Final Evaluation Session. The teacher can then either file the letters away for a year, or can give them to administration personnel to deal with. If the teacher takes this on however, it can be an interesting experience to send these out a year later and to be reminded of the students.
