meaning of the lexical items. Then, ask the students to read Samantha’s home page on their own and do Activity A.
Move around the classroom and make sure that the students tick the items correctly. Key:

At this point, ask the students to prepare their own home page as homework. Beforehand, explain to the students what they have to write, following the instructions for Activity B. If students have a
personal computer and an appropriate program, they may prepare a real home page to put on the Internet.
In one of the next lessons, dedicate the whole time to check what the students have prepared. Make your own comments and listen to the comments of the class. Each student will make notes of the
suggestions made and, if necessary, correct hisher home page accordingly. Finally, the students can decide to put their work in their Portfolios.
2. Skills on which the activity is based The skills on which these activities are based are mainly reading and writing. But other skills are
also involved. For example, collecting appropriate photographs, designing a layout, drawing, and optionally, the skills required to operate a computer.
3. Time required to complete the activity About half an hour is required to accomplish Activity A. Activity B will probably require a whole
lesson of about one hour. Of course students will use their own time to prepare their work at home.
4. Level required Level A1 is the minimum required for these activities. In any case, the activities are part of a
programme which leads students towards Level A2.
