The document contains several quotes and perspectives on planning: 1. Many see planning as essential for success but too much can be restrictive, while spontaneity has advantages. 2. Effective planning requires intelligent thought and focused effort to achieve goals and productivity. 3. Planning prepares one for challenges by anticipating problems and charting a course of action. However, it is not guarantees and one must be responsive to change.

• I am obsessed with planning travel! Not just traveling, which I love, but the
whole planning process and all the details that go into it. I subscribe to all
these travel blogs and airline forums and research hotels and activities
and destinations for hours on end, and I volunteer to plan trips for
everyone I know.
Lauren Weisberger
• Any time women come together with a collective intention, it's a powerful
thing. Whether it's sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a
meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards,
or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective
intention, magic happens.

13. Pre-Task
+ review some vocabulary , no language focus, a sample of people completing the task
in real world
+ give task and guidelines, students take time to prepare and plan how to execute the
task.
Task
+ students complete the task in pairs or groups. Teacher monitors and offers
encouragement, but does not correct their language.
Planning
+ students prepare a report to present the results of their task to their classmates.
Teacher provides assistance with language.
+ Teacher decides evaluation of student performance.
Report

read from notes. The teacher and classmates may offer feedback at this time.

14. + Teaching objectives
+ Warmer (introduce topic, activate background
knowledge)
+ Task cycle (demonstrate: for vocabulary,
functional language, thinking time; do the task,
prepare and give a report)
+ Language focus
+ Follow up activities
+ Considerations and checkpoints (story task and WS)

17. + Content: What the student needs to learn. all students should be given
access to the same core content. complexity should be adapted to
students’ learner profiles. can vary the presentation of content, (e.g.,
textbooks, lecture, demonstrations, taped texts)
+ Process: Activities in which the student engages. dfferentiating process
activities include scaffolding, flexible grouping, interest centers,
manipulatives, varying the length of time for a student to master content,
and encouraging an advanced learner to pursue a topic in greater depth.
+ Products: culminating projects that ask students to apply and extend what
they have learned. Products should provide students with different ways
to demonstrate their knowledge as well as various levels of difficulty,
group or individual work, and various means of scoring.
+ Learning Environment: include areas in which students can work quietly
as well as collaborate with others, materials that reflect diverse cultures,
and routines that allow students to get help when the teacher isn’t
available

– transformations (i.e., high-level activities such as analysis, synthesis, problem
solving and decision-making), and
– outputs (i.e., products such as presentations, reports, and web publishing).
He points out that students need scaffolding in each of these domains such as
quality resource links, compelling problems, and production templates to
assist in building understandings.

26. Mumbai police are looking for an eight-year-old boy who attempted to hold up a
sweet shop last night in the suburbs of Mumbai.
The boy, who was wearing a muffler cap, went into the corner shop and bought a
packet of five star chocolates for 25 rupees. As the shopkeeper gave him his change a
young man came in to buy a newspaper. The boy waited until the man had gone then
threw a plastic bag at the shopkeeper. At the same time he pointed a gun at her and
told her to fill up the bag.
“I’m not sure whether he wanted me to fill it with sweets or with money,” said the
shopkeeper, who did not want to give her name. “I didn’t know if the gun was real or
not, but it certainly looked more real than the guns my little boy plays with. I was quite
frightened because I had my children with me. I pretended to reach for some money,
but I pressed the alarm instead.
When it went off he turned and ran out of the shop.” She described the boy as 1.2
metres tall, and dressed in jeans and a dark coat. The police are asking the public to
help.
