101 Fun Games, Activities, and Projects for English Classes, Vol. 5: Showing It off Cynthia Lapena 1.º edición

When students have all the information they need from a series of lessons, how do you know that they have truly learned the lesson? Volume 5: Showing It Off provides teachers with a way to gauge learning according to how well the students are able to apply everything they have learned through long-term projects. As the title of this volume suggests, students are provided with various opportunities to show off what they have learned. The volume consists of several activities and projects that make excellent culminating activities. These activities and projects take longer to complete than most of the the other entries in this series. In several cases, in fact, the projects are long term projects, taking up to several weeks of preparation. Their very nature is a reflection of the fact that each of the activities and projects in this volume integrates the concepts and skills students have acquired throughout a term, or even through several years of learning. Through the successful completion of any of these activities and projects, the students will be able to show their mastery and craftsmanship in one or more areas of English Communication Arts. I must mention here, as well, that I have very frequently used these projects in lieu of final written exams.
