Teacher notes:

• Mini-presentations Students perform twice and assess twice during the session. They also change groups once. There is no need to micromanage this, since the students have the instructions. The teacher should allow students to get on with performance and assessment and make sure that the Class Journal is circulated in a timely manner in order to record the results of the assessments. Assessments are entered in the Mini-presentation section, in the S1, S2, S3, S4 columns. Check that this information is entered fully. Each student will mark an assessment for four people, and will receive assessments from four different people.

•  This is the end of the first section of the course. From this point, students will be directed to more autonomous learning through the Project Packs (pages 64 - 244).
