This site provides certain lesson ideas that I feel are interesting to model after. My 3 picks would be:
#1: Anna Karenina Interviews: I think this method encourages self directed learning very well. Students will pick a character from the text they are studying, and create a series of interview questions they would like to ask the character. They will then carry out their own research to find out the answers to their own questions.
#4 Book Advertisement: One way to incorporate ICT into the lesson to engage the students, could be the use of media technology. The students will be divided into groups and asked to pick a favorite scene from the text to model a movie trailer after in order to promote the book. The students are required to do a short act and to set their creative juices flowing with regard to putting the movie clip together using a video software. Although this might be an activity more appropriate as an assignment over the holidays, it will be nonetheless be fun and interactive for the students.
#13 Storyboard a book: Pictures help some students better visualize the sequence of events happening in the text - therefore it might be worth a lesson or two to be put aside for students to create a storyboard for the text they are doing, and then have them share it with the rest of the class. Photocopies may be made to be pasted around the class. And an option of mindmaps may be given to students who really cannot draw - this allows for a variety of methods and ideas for the flow of events in the book to be better rememebered.
