Input materials and instructional strategies
- Lead-in: individual work: Ss are given the online text about writing a flyer that sells and they have to make notes about the design procedure in a given worksheet, completing the worksheet with their own version of the pieces of advice given in the text Module 5-Task 2-Real Life Task Activity 1a
- Ss watch a video about advertising tricks to find out about the ways of creating things which look real, but they are not Module 5-Task 2-Real Life Task Activity 1b(INTERACTIVE OPTION available)
(OUT OF CLASS)
- T collects the information about the design procedure and comments all 10 tips in the text used in Real Life Task Activity 1a [15’]
- pairwork: at each tip commented by T, Ss make notes on their worksheets what they would like to use/write/explore connected with each tip in order to specify what Ss would like to write in connection with their particular product/service they would like to advertise or recommend; they use the worksheets which they have to fill with their ideas before designing their own work in an out-of-class activity Module 5-Task 2-Real Life Task Activity 1d
- pairwork: Ss design their leaflet either in a class or individually at home and publish it online in a folder with Google Disc documents (or optionally on the board in the Padlet online application); Ss follow the guidelines and requirements given in a separate memo Module 5-Real Life Task-Activity 1e
- the best can be presented in the class
