This document outlines a 4-lesson unit plan to teach students vocabulary from a text. In Lesson 1, students read the text and analyze vocabulary in groups. In Lesson 2, students work in groups to transform the text into a script for a roleplay using the new vocabulary. Lesson 3 involves student group presentations of the roleplays. In Lesson 4, students discuss the pros and cons of the topic in the text by writing arguments on sheets of paper and presenting their findings. The goal is for students to learn, use, and remember new vocabulary through collaborative reading, speaking, and writing activities.

8. PITFALLS OF GROUP WORK
•
Native language in use
• lack of contribution/cooperation (parasite syndrome)
• lack of balace between the students’ parts– the host syndrome
(tell them that marks within one group can be differentiated)
students make a deal that everybody will prepare their
own part and then they put them together – sounds
artificial like speeches
•
