TASK 2:
Make pairs. Design a web-based activity for an English lessson, which would develop the kids' reading abilities AND their skills in analysing and evaluating information.
Target group: 8th grade, level A2
Describe the activity in a comment to this blog entry (do not forget to sign).

12 komentářů:

  1. Scale of three found web articles (which they have to read and evaluate). The scale would be made from three titles of those articles:
    1. A valid one
    2. Some-what valid one
    3. False one

    The point of this excersize is to make the kids carefully analyze the articles in order to teach them to distinguish valid and invalid information.
