ACTIVITY 3

• Try to have at least one dictionary and one thesaurus available to each group.

• The following rubric may be useful in assessing a learner’s ability to function within the group.

• The rubric may be adjusted to your needs. It is also a good idea to let the learners come up with their own rubric, with the educator’s guidance.
• Learners must be aware of the criteria to be assessed and should be given the rubric before the activity or assessment is done.

Mini-dictionaries can be displayed in the classroom or at a parents’ evening.

Pronunciation – allow for a little noise as learners have great fun pronouncing words aloud.

• Same pronunciation:

• leisure, lemon, beg, dead.
• neighbour, weight

It is worth consolidating this spelling rule so go around the class and reward those who get the words correct. As they spell correctly, they may sit down and then you will recognize who needs help.
