Ongoing monthly project-based assignments. You will: • Get theme-based pictorial worksheets to help with your assignment. Choose how you want to present in-class: write a story, make a slide, or do a Show-N-Tell. These will help you improve your speaking and storytelling skills.Assessment
Receive a self-assessment test at the end of each level. We use a method called confidence-based marking to assess your children's speaking and storytelling skills. This method requires your children to rate their confidence level for each answer they give in a test or quiz, and then gives feedback based on both the accuracy and the confidence of the answer. Why do we use this method? Confidence is important to "speak up!" in a target language. Confidence-based marking can help your children to: • Identify their strengths and weaknesses, and focus on the areas that need more attention or practice. • Avoid overconfidence or under confidence, and develop a realistic and balanced view of their own abilities. • Enhance their learning and retention, and transfer their skills to new situations.Grading

WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT? Join two 8-year-old siblings, as they escape mysterious creatures hidden in closets (including a mad scientist), to enter a magical world of dreams. There, they face survival challenges that help them learn to speak naturally and creatively in the target language. You can follow their adventures and create your own stories with them. You will practice how to express your needs, ask for help, and find solutions when you are hungry, thirsty, sleepy, or lost. The siblings travel using their red toy car as a rocket, to different places around the world and beyond. They bring their lovable pets along with them. They encounter story challenges that test their imagination and courage. ********************************************************************* SAMPLE ABBREVIATED SYLLABUS: • Week 1: Storytime - Meet Lulu in His Magical Bedroom 1.
