Formative Assessment

Class Activities

During and after the initial training the learner will be required to complete a number of activities. These activities will be both individual and group activities (class activities formative activities). The activities are numbered and are to be included in the learner’s portfolio of evidence. These activities will measure the progress of the learner through the programme. For authenticity reasons these activities must be handwritten.

Class Activity 1: Learning resources, strategies and materials

Complete the following in small groups / individually as per the instructions from your facilitator:

8973.1 8973.2 8973.3

1. List the learning resources at your disposal in your workplace under the following headings: a) Communication resources

4. Identify and list the criteria that you will apply to determine whether a website is reliable:

5. Summarise the following passage in no more than 60 words and supply an appropriate title: Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares - more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction has serious consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example, that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest valleys have been clear cut, 142 species of salmon have already become extinct, and the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures are threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the government and cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict or control it.

11. Draw up 10 test questions based on the passage below. You must have at least one question starting with each of the following words: Who, what, where, when, why, how.

Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and paper. According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world's wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp. Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces fibre, which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries, because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasible without hemp. Nowadays, ships' cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada's forests.

12. Ask your partner to answer the questions you drew up in your second language.

Pulp Friction

Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares - more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction has serious consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example, that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest valleys have been clear cut, 142 species of salmon have already become extinct, and the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures are threatened.

without hemp. Nowadays, ships' cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada's forests. However, there is a problem: hemp is illegal in many countries of the world. This plant, so useful for fibre, rope, oil, fuel and textiles, is a species of cannabis, related to the plant from which marijuana is produced. In the late 1930s, a movement to ban the drug marijuana began to gather force, resulting in the eventual banning of the cultivation not only of the plant used to produce the drug, but also of the commercial fibre-producing hemp plant. Although both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp in large quantities on their own land, any American growing the plant today would soon find himself in prison -- despite the fact that marijuana cannot be produced from the hemp plant, since it contains almost no THC (the active ingredient in the drug). In recent years, two major movements for legalisation have been gathering strength. One group of activists believes that ALL cannabis should be legal - both the hemp plant and the marijuana plant - and that the use of the drug marijuana should not be an offence. They argue that marijuana is not dangerous or addictive, and that it is used by large numbers of people who are not criminals, but productive members of society. They also point out that marijuana is less toxic than alcohol or tobacco. The other legalisation movement is concerned only with the hemp plant used to produce fibre; this group wants to make it legal to cultivate the plant and sell the fibre for paper and pulp production. This second group had a major triumph in 1997: Canada legalised the farming of hemp for fibre. For the first time since 1938, hundreds of farmers are planting this crop, and soon we can expect to see pulp and paper produced from this new source.

Facilitator Observation Checklist

Facilitator Observation Checklist

The facilitator needs to provide feedback on the participation of each learner in the class:

8973

The purpose of the facilitator observation checklist is to provide the learner with feedback about his/her participation during the formative class activities and also to highlight the observed strengths and perceived weaknesses that the learner displayed during the workshop and/or learning programme. The facilitator is required to complete the Facilitator Observation checklist for each learner in his/her Learner Workbook. The learner needs to sign-off the

document to confirm that he/she has received the observation feedback.
