PASS THE BATON Think about how this ‘entity’ might be used at the different levels of Foreign language instruction. What elements are appropriate for each? What expectations do you have about the understanding and knowledge of your students as they enter the next level of education? What can the next level’s teachers expect to inherit from you? Suggest a lesson ‘path’ for this object. Place it in a Level One Course, an Intermediate Level and an Advanced Level. How might it be used to teach the cultural context of language in each of the 3 levels? Be prepared to present your lesson path to the other groups.
