Independent Learning (IDL, 15%)
1. Reading (5%): Ss have to read 5 reading tasks (3 stories and 2 science articles) out of 10 and do the follow-up exercises from the LI website (www.li.kku.ac.th). Ts assign
them to read one story a week and collect their reading tasks in the following week until they finish the fifth reading task (See the lesson plan). Ts then have them check the
answers at the beginning or before the end of class. The answer checking session should be around 20 minutes (class 6th). One complete reading task with checked answer
is equivalent to one percent. *Apart from the 5 designated reading tasks, Ts should encourage them to read more since any one of the 10 stories will be used as a part of
the quiz.
2. Quiz (5%): The quiz includes one seen story and one unseen story. * The quiz format is identical to those on the website.
3. Story Summary (5%, 4 students a group): Ss choose one story to write a summary according to http://www.wikihow.com/Summarize-a-Story .
***The IDL quiz is in class along with the submission of the 5 reading tasks and the summary on Wednesday the 4th or Thursday 5th of Nov 2015
