Lesson Plans for "Watch, Listen & Speak", Semester 2

 

 

Listening & Speaking, Semester 2 Assignment:

"A Study Diary"


Instructions: This assignment involves writing a daily diary for 10 weeks. You are required to keep a detailed list of the English you are Watching, Listening to and Speaking outside of the classroom.

Begin writing at the start of week 2 and finish at the end of week 11. Hand in your completed diary in week 12.

You are required to watch, listen to or speak some English at least once per day. Using the attached pages, complete your diary as instructed, writing clearly in pen. Only include things you do in your own time NOT anything that you do in lessons. Bring your diary to lessons so it will be checked every few weeks.


Assessment: This assignment is worth 25% of the second semester course. Marks will be awarded as shown on the mark sheet included in this diary.

You are advised to keep a copy of your diary in case you lose it - only complete diaries will be marked.

Plagiarism, cheating or collusion will result in a mark of zero. Failure to complete all of the instructions will also result in a mark of zero. The pass mark is 60%, there will not be any re-submissions for failed assignments. Marks will not be deducted for spelling, punctuation and grammar unless your writing is illegible.

Use the following format to record your information each week:
