Group 3: Connie, Christine, Helena and Joe
Background and Context
The project targets at the Primary 5 students, who have to deal with the Territory-Wide System Assessment (TSA), which is a public exam designed by Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority. TSA requires students reading different text types - short stories, poems, jokes, riddles, etc. This project mainly focuses on increasing students' exposure to those text types and enhancing students' self learning skills.
Students' Needs
In order to prepare students for the TSA, reading of different text types are needed. It is found that primary school students in Hong Kong have little exposure to different types of texts and therefore they are extremely weak in understanding and interpreting the texts. This class web aims at providing them more practises on reading the texts. The web provides more opportunity for students to read more texts. The web will also include comprehension exercies with various kinds like multiple choice questions, gap filling exercises, matching, and etc.
Syllabus plan
The text types chosen in the class web (short stories, poems, jokes and riddles) are already included in the formal curriculum. This class web can be a practical tool for catering learner diversity. It can be a complement for the formal curriculum. Teachers can go through the materials with the weaker students at school. For the stronger students, this class web can be their self-learning material. Teachers can encourage those high flyers to find more information from the Internet to further enhance their exposure.
Techonolgy to be used
Colourful and interesting layout will be applied in the class web for attracting our target audience. Different comprehension question types (M.C Questions, gap filling exercises, open-ended questions with complete sentences as answers) will be included. Hot Potato will be used to design the tasks. For designing the webpage, Dreamweaver will be used. Some Flash clips will be included as visual effects to further increase the readability of the web.

Hi there and thanks for the proposal!
Some questions you might like to consider:
Will there be opportunities for students to create based on the readings they have engaged in on the web?
Will there be some form of online discussion forum or blog?
If so, what would be its purpose?
What will motivate students to use this resource?
What will motivate teachers to use it?
Have fun with the questions,
Christoph
