This book uses many authentic sources such as factual texts, newspaper articles, features and TV schedules, instruction manuals, everyday signs, stories, quizzes, emails and diary entries. Students are encouraged to read material on different levels and in different ways, such as reading for gist, scanning, skimming, comprehension, analysing structure, summarising and shadow reading.
Not only for reading comprehension - but for extra creativity during lessons.
Good reading texts are highly versatile - either as springboards to discussion or as a lead in to more detailed comprehension exercises. The problem for teachers working on an intensive course in the UK is that text taken from everyday newspapers in the UK will be ugraded - and so too difficult for the students. Teachers need a Timesaving source of interesting texts, at the right level, which are motivating to their students. A great resource book with plenty of speaking activities for primary level.
Historical RPGs (role-playing games), as you can probably imagine, take place in the past sometimes real, sometimes imaginative. Settings that have been explored in role-playing games include Pendragon (based on Arthurian legends), Sengoku (about Japanese warring states), Recon (regarding the Vietnam War), Fantasy Imperium (takes place in historical Europe). Includes a glossary of military terms used during that war.
over 100 activities, games and special projects!
