I see you chose one reading and designed activities around it. These are my comments.
ReplyDeleteIn the speaking activity it seems to me you cannot assess speaking skills but language use? is it what you wanted to assess?
The listening activity seems to be an indirect pronunciation activity.
The reading activity looks fine, but you need to tell students about the expected performance, what are you going to assess: syntax, spellign, vocabulary use, etc.
The writing activity looks fine, but you have to be conscious that it is not a communicative activity.
I did not revise this activity in BLackboard.
