Expansion Activities
The Multilevel Expansion Activities in the Side by Side Plus
Teacher's Guide include games, tasks,
brainstorming, discussion, movement, drawing, miming, and role playing
— all designed to reinforce and enrich instruction in a way
that is stimulating, creative and fun!
Activity levels are indicated through a three-star system:
- One-star
activities are designed for below-level
students.
These activities typically
present students with a single
task; they are highly structured, with very defined
answers. Often the direction of input is from the teacher, rather than
the student.
- Two-star
activities are designed for at-level
students.
These activities usually
present dual tasks,
like speaking and finding a student with a matching card or line. These
activities are moderately structured, with some open answers and room
for interpretation. They can be teacher-directed or student-directed,
so students will need to have some control of the language and some
independence.
- Three-star
activities are for above-level
students.
These activities often include several steps and multiple language tasks,
such as role plays and discussions. These activities are highly
unstructured, with much room for student input, interpretation and
control. Most input comes from students, so these activities require
mastery of vocabulary and student independence.
