Literacy Activity & Mini-Syllabus Project
See the Week 12 and Week 13 presentation files for more info.
​In this assignment, you will design:
  • One literacy activity for young learners (8–10 minutes) and teach it as a demonstration.
  • A 5-day (Monday to Friday) mini-syllabus showing how your activity fits into a wider course plan. (No separate syllabus file is required—include the syllabus inside your PPT presentation with one slide for each day.)
  • A short explanation of your syllabus immediately after your teaching demo (about 5 minutes).
Presentations will take place during Week 14, Week 15, and Week 16. Your exact presentation week will be assigned in Week 12 or 13.
​Total presentation time: approximately 15 minutes.

Tip: It's better to be focused with the syllabus. You don't need to teach many different aspects of literacy. It's better to do a few things well, rather than try to do too much. Keep it focused.
