Starting point
Using the theme of social relationships I would use this question as a stimulus.

Question/Claim
How does the language and culture of social media alter our perception? 
What is the balance of reason vs. emotion in social media narratives?

I think it is a great way to capitalize on the students existing knowledge and interests to provoke class discussion. Its an opportunity to see a divide in opinion and chance for debate debate.

Topic
This would be ideal to be used alongside the topic of Advertising for an audience: What sells and what doesn’t?

My text type focus would be 
1. Brochure design

CAS Focus: How to put together an advertising brochure for a fundraising
event.

Using the theme of Identities I would use the following question as a chance to explore global perspectives, intercultural understanding and citizenship. I have used ideas from the Cambridge English B class book to other cultures and tradition that differ to the ones apparent in my class. This gives the students a bigger picture from the communities in which they live but also a chance for debate with other class friends who represent other cultures and traditions that differ to the context in which the school is based. 

Question/Claim 
How are values encoded differently in different languages?

Topic 
Culture and identity

My text type focus would be 
1. Transcript of class debate 

CAS Focus: Discussion forum could be recorded as a podcast

Being based in a country where tourism is a big economical factor. Students seeking and exploring CAS opportunities are quite widespread and available. 

I have explored the topic of Volun-tourism in lessons and students have been able develop letter writing skills contacting NGO's seeking places on volunteering programmes.


Students develop written skills including persuasive language techniques and write and construct a letter to
non-profit organisations in the hope of a place.

I would use the theme sharing the planet to explore the acquisition and application of the above technique/skill.

We can discuss how language can help us interpret the world? 

How can language manipulate our understanding?

This enables student to structure language in order to ensure their essay is balanced, focused and discursive. ]]> 2020-10-07 06:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lynch6/7nqa5lplbrstwm38/wish/809317797 EE 2 lynch6 https://padlet.com/lynch6/7nqa5lplbrstwm38/wish/809318021 Learning how to complete reflections and research adequately.

I would use the theme of Experiences to explore this particular skill/skills.

I would use the theme of travel and explore travel writing and literature to give the students that opportunity to see and witness language in this format. Pupils create a person learning journal also to reflect and evaluate less and leisure experiences. 

You can also use TOK to explore the relationship between language and sense perception
