Group project proposal

We are group 6. Members: Amy, Rosanna, Stephanie & Angel

What is the background and context for this project?
~Target Ss: P4 – P6 (upper primary, i.e. Key Stage 2)
~About the school: CMI, co-education
~Ss’ language proficiency: diversified

What are the needs of the students and how would they benefit from a class web page?
~Ss are not very motivated in reading and the video acts as a medium of communication to provoke their

motivation in language learning, particularly in reading
~Through doing different tasks online, Ss can build up their creativity and writing skill.

What particular skill or content area that you would like to deliver online?
~Although we’ll particularly focus on reading, other skills, such as vocabulary learning, listening and writing skill will

also be covered.

How will the web page be integrated into curriculum or syllabus (provide a detailed syllabus plan)?
~EDB syllabus: Using IT in language learning
~School syllabus: Ss are required to read 'Cinderella dressed in yellow'. The website designed is used to

supplement their learning in class

What technologies will you use to deliver content and facilitate interactions?
~Video shooting (a camcorder) and editing (Ulead); movie maker (Microsoft);
~Hot potatoes (for creating exercises and tasks)

Hi there,

Looks like an interesting project. I have some questions for you to consider:

How is video related to the skill of reading exactly?
What kind of videos are you going to make?
Do you have plans for your students to contribute (e.g. videos) to your web site?
How do you plan to achieve your aim of 'building up creativity and writing skills'?

A lot of questions, I know, so lots to think about. One other thing to think about is: what process should you follow in designing this resource?
