Abstract: | An open mind As well as developing students' knowledge and use of English, every unit explores one theme from a variety of perspectives and fresh contexts. Perspectives encourages students to keep an open mind about the information that they meet throughout the course and to look at the world in new ways that they leave every lesson a little smarter. My perspective activities In every unit there are several activities called My perspective, which ask students to reflect on the content of the lesson from their personal point of view. Sometimes you'll find a My perspective activity at the beginning of the unit to engage students in the theme and get them thinking about what they already know about it. Here are three ways to use them: • conduct a class discussion. Let students read the questions, then nominate individuals to share their ideas. Encourage others to respond and welcome contrasting points of view. organize students into discussion groups. Group work can get more students talking, even the quieter, less confident class members. Consider giving individuals specific roles like chairperson and spokesperson, the chairperson's job being make sure everyone stays on task and gets to speak, while the spokesperson summarizes the group's discussion to the whole class. let students work on their own to answer the questions in writing or as recorded audio. Not only does this allow students time to prepare, it provides a private space that some students need to be able to express themselves. |
