Guidelines for answering this question
Select an authentic text and make a copy of it. Include this copy as an appendix to your assignment. Please note that a text taken from a textbook or graded reader is not considered to be authentic. Begin your essay by briefly describing the characteristics of the group of students for whom you are preparing the teaching materials. In the remainder of the essay describe the activities you have designed accompanied by a set of instructions for teachers and provide a rationale for each one. You will also need to make sure that you include references to the set books for this module and other relevant sources where appropriate to support your designs for the activities.
The completed essay will be no more than 2000 words and will be fully referenced according to an academic convention. You will lose marks if you do not clearly identify the sources that you use. Please also look at the assessment criteria outlined in the Students? Guide, which are used for grading your assignments.
