<p></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Based on Brandl’s (2008) guidelines for implementing communicative activities, in this blog (300-350 words approx.) I would like you to reflect on the type(s) of tasks incorporated into the activity that your group designed and presented in class:</span></p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Make the goal clear from the beginning;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Involve all participants equally;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Make sure students are adequately prepared;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Provide clear instructions and examples;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Make an effort to mix groups;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Assign activities that are relevant and interesting to students;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Circulate, circulate, circulate;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Teach group interaction skills;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="font-size-2">Hold group accountable for completing task on time.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-2"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;" class="font-size-2">To that end, not only are you expected to identify and describe the tasks that your group put into practice, but you should also consider how your activity could have benefitted from other types of tasks simultaneously.</span></p>
