COMMENTS TO YEAR PLAN
Generally, each chapter can be read consecutively as set out in the
book, starting with Chapter 1. The texts in each chapter follow a
thematic scheme and therefore individual texts within each chapter
go well together.
Some teachers, however, might prefer to have a common start of
the year for all their classes. In this case you can start with chapter
2, which is the same in all At Work books.
Novel
Some teachers might want to save the novel for vg2. Here it is
suggested to read a novel in vg1, since this year has one more class
per week than the second year. Also, many media students are
quite experienced readers.
The students can choose their own novel, or the teacher might
suggest two novels at different levels. See list of suggested
literature.
