Make a note of their progress in language activities. Reading: Make a Snakes and Ladders Language game Before reading The learners look at the picture of the well-known game, Snakes and Ladders, and discuss the game with a friend. Read Read the text aloud with the learners following. Suggest that they take note of the headings and after you have read the text point out the way instructional text is written with a You will need section and then a sequence of instructions. After you have read through the text let the learners read the text again with a friend. After reading Ask the learners to do the questions on their own.

Language activities: Future Tense board game The learners can play this game in groups with a dice and counter. First revise the future tense with them. The future tense describes what will happen in the future. It usually uses the word will and will be. Ensure that they understand the instructions. In this game, when a player lands on a block with a sentence in it, he/she attempts an answer. It is up to the rest of the group to correct each player s mistakes. Reading: Story creation circle games (This is both an informal Assessment and a Formal Assessment task) Before reading The learners predict what the text is about after reading the title and looking at the pictures.

(5 marks) (TOTAL = 30 marks) Formal Assessment This is a formal assessment reading task where the learners read the text aloud. The marking schedule, for 20 marks, is as follows: Reading Criteria Mark allocation Learners read the text Learners read the text Learners read the text Learners read the text Does the learner use the correct tone, voice projection and pace? Does the learner make eye contact? Does the learner adopt the correct posture and gestures when reading? Does the learner pronounce the words without distorting the meaning?

Writing: Write a description and instructions for an educational game TOTAL marks (This is a Formal Assessment task) In this activity the learner s will think of an educational game that four people can play. It can be similar to a game that they already know but they will need to give it a new name. They make the game and also write the instructions for the game. Let them work in pairs. Before writing Model what the learners have to do by using the Snakes and Ladders idea presented previously in this unit.
8 1. Think about the game design (5) Place the learners in their pairs and model thinking about the games design using the Snakes and Ladders idea. Then give them time to come up with their own game design ideas in their pairs. They each write down their game design idea in rough in their workbooks. 2. Plan the content of your game (5) Help the learners to decide on the content of their game by describing some of the maths or language activities, or even activities from other subjects that they have tackled this year. Let them each discuss and then describe the content of their game and how they will add it to their game. Walk around giving assistance where necessary. 3. Work out the instructions for the game (15) Remind the learners of the different parts to their instructions: a) The name of the game and the goal b) A You will need section. c) The step-by-step instructions They write these out in draft.

Language conventions: The mood in verbs and modal verbs 1. Language conventions: The mood in verbs Discuss this section before starting using the explanation on the activity sheet.
