From the readings for Nov. 19

The activities introduced in this part of the chapter do not seem to fit my students except for Activity 6. I am not saying Activity 6 fits my students perfectly, but perhaps I can do something like it for my students. It could be a two- or three-week project. The author provides several possible elements, and each of them could be suitable to a specific age group, I guess. For example, student biographies would be suitable for beginner students and if this project is conducted closed to the beginning of the course before students become familiar with each other, it will help establish rapport among them. If we focus on what kind of genre they create, it can be useful for genre-based writing, too. For instance, if the course chooses to work on reviews of local attractions, flyers will be effective models and we can also teach how the features of something can be described briefly and effectively.
