Project By a pupil: MS Year 1.

This first project aims at involving pupils in a research work that goes in pairs with the content of the file they'll be studying. Our pupils need just to be assisted:

1- Explain the project and its objective.

2- Form the groups, name the leaders and assign the tasks.

3- If some teachers or pupils join from other schools, put hand in hand.

4- Gather as many data as possible.

5- Finalize the first step of your project: Foods in your country then move to the following step: Foods from the region, then to Foods from 5 countries from the 5 continent.

6- Edit.

7- Comment.

8- Compile and publish.

More about our first project: Foods Here and There.

link to the details about the project.

Our 1st Project 2009

First, the pupils are asked to work in groups and gather as many pictures of food as possible. It is important to name each food in English and in Arabic which will be optional.

The teacher checks the work from time to time.

A pupil's work sample:

Once the pupils have gathered a respectable number of pictures,

the teacher organizes a vote to choose 12/16 to use for the project.

Chose pictures of fruits, vegetables or other foods that are not very familiar to the pupils for new knowledge.

Ask the pupils to do a research work and find a short description of on or two foods.

Swap the pictures and the information to be corrected then compiled into finalized projects.

Pupils present their projects and speak about their findings in front of their mates. They answer the questions if there are some.

Learners need to practice and process the language they are learning. The following activities go with FILE ONE MSY4.
Feel free to adapt and enrich. Do help me in case of any mistake.

Extra activities should be done in pairs or in groups as a research work that'll finish as the progression of the file finishes.

Placement test are tests that make school authorities sure to put a fresh learner in a class that is the correct level for her/him. The score recorded decides the level of the learner. This can be used in private schools and some others.

In our schools, we can use it as an evaluation test to decide which level the learner has within the same class. This makes the difference. It works even if it is hard to achieve in schools where teachers face "hurdles" when it comes to printing.
