Dictation Triptych: asking permission

CLB4S

Shuiqing and Rachel

What Some of the Nicest Reading Artefacts Look Like

The task was to: Read basic safety rules on a workplace poster (CLB4R). So, after a crossword-based vocabulary pre-reading and separate group learning of a 10-point poster of that sort, learners were instructed to:

1. Tell your new group your order of importance of the 10 points.
2. Discuss and decide as a group on the most important 5 points.
3. As a group, think of 3 more points based on your experience.
4. Do you think the pictures so far have been good? What could improve? What would you create instead?
5. As a group, come up with a new workplace safety poster with 7 points and the best picture you can think of.

How did that all turn out?
