Activities

Old Lesson Plan F2F class

Teacher provides all materials

New Lesson Plan Online Class

Students are required to find at least
one video clip/ article/ comic strip that
pertains to lesson topic

Evaluation based on final

assignment (group project:
comic strips)

Evaluation based on rubric criteria,

tangible proofs of individual student
engagement, i.e. discussion, level of
language, participation in final
assignment, reflective journal entry

The teacher is unable to

evaluate every students
contribution to discussion
(there are 5 teams of 3)
Some students participate less
than others or do not
participate at all. The teacher
has to circulate and tries to
pay attention to every team
working in the classroom, but
its not physically possible.
Only very few students offer a
reflective comment.
No choice offered: every team
has to work on comic strips

All students have to participate in the

discussion and pull off their weight in
group projects
All students reflect on what they have
learnt (blog entries)

Students have a choice between making

comic strips or videos, which increases
student engagement
