B/ Extra support material for Honors.
The following links provide some support material for certain units of ECPE HONORS.
There’s one Video related to the topic of the Unit accompanied by a Worksheet. The worksheet is available both in PDF and WORD format.
The purpose of such presentations is to trigger the students’ interest on the topic and thus generate a discussion. The invaluable by-product of this procedure is that the students become CREATIVELY INVOLVED with KEY concepts and their corresponding vocabulary .
The students are expected to WRITE a summary of the Video based on the Worksheet and present it orally next time in class.
