Independent Reading Project

1. Every month, a student chooses a different topic he/she is interested
in and reads at least one article OR watches at least one TED.com video
on this topic.
2. Then, in the Google Disc folder that I created, they add information about the texts (a summary,
a personal opinion, some new words).
The students can take a look at each other's folders and see what their classmates are reading/listening.
3. At the end of each month, we have a lesson when students tell each other about they have learnt about their topic and take individualised tests on the new words and phrases they have learnt.
I think it might be more effective if students have to talk about what they have read/watched EVERY WEEK in class - this would allow for more speaking practice and ensure they read regularly
and don't just do a month's work during the last week. Then, at the end of the month, they would only take the vocabulary test.
This activity increases theamount of real-life English the students engage with AND their motivation grows because they can choose the TOPIC and the ACTIVITY (article or video). They also learnt time-management.

Evaluation

Students were given the self-evaluation sheet.
After each test they wrote the expected result of the test and their effort. After they get the resolt, they compared it and experessed how they feel about it.

It did not really motivate them to study more, but they liked doing it.

Pupil as an English teacher

A pupil has a hometask to prepare for the next lesson to play the role of a teacher. The topic
of the lesson is “ Conditionals”. At the lesson the pupil introduces the structure and the usage the III Conditional. To make the presentation more attractive the pupil uses the interactive whiteboard to show some examples of sentences. In addition to this the cards with grammar tasks were prepared for each pupil. The pupils have some time to fulfill the gaps with correct grammar form of the verbs. During this part of the lesson teacher is only the observer.
