Create a unit map that clearly balances the
synchronous and asynchronous tasks in a
unit and promotes learner autonomy.
Plan a full 90-minute lesson that clearly links
to asynchronous activities as in the unit map
and encourages communication in the
classroom.

M/PM/NM Comments
The unit map is clear and written with the end user in mind. The
instructions are very clear and the different aspects are clearly labelled
and colour coded.
The content chosen for edmodo/asynchronous learning is appropriate and
there are consolidation exercises provided, including with the use of a
study buddy.
M
No clear signposting of how they will practice the vocabulary and grammar
in the class- only that it will be revised and they will receive listening
practice. You could, for example, provide a brief description of a speaking
activity to show the students that there will be opportunity to practice in an
engaging manner in the synchronous class.
M There’s some improvement Mohamed, your lesson had much more details
and was easier to understand. You clearly linked the tasks in the lesson
with what was assigned beforehand. You included many tasks that
required communication as well.
However, think more about your time allocation, grouping, and ways of
delivering feedback. In the lesson plan, I believe the time allocation was
unrealistic in certain stages, for example the first stage. Also ensure that
the students are always working in pairs or groups of 4 “maximum” to
ensure everyone is participating enough.
There was improvement in your choice of freer tasks. However, you need
to reconsider your controlled tasks and the choice of language review

Overall comments

Thank you Mohamed. The unit map is definitely a useful working document for the students, and really makes it clear what you
need them to do before class and gives a lot of support in the ‘how’ as well. You have done a much better job on the plan and
rationale as well. Your plan had much more details but check my notes above for more detailed Feedback. Also, the rationale
included more details and information about your choice of tasks, but you included one reference only and didn’t support all your
decisions with readings.

M – all criteria fully met, PM – criteria partially met, NM – criteria not met
