Classroom Considerations

• Extensive prep time is required initially; however, once the audio tapes are made modeling the various levels of proficiency, they can be used year after year
• All assessments are individual and thus require advanced planning

Pros

• The drills can be repeated with each of the four traits
• Rubrics for teacher and student use are included
• The plan includes directions for how to conduct and evaluate these exercises

 

Cons

• Instructors must provide all the reading passages used in the exercises
