Here's how Mark, a teacher in a secondary college
in Victoria, uses WordFlyers with his class.

  • Project the unit onto a screen, listen to the narration of the text, or read it to your class.
  • Discuss the text's language features, structure, audience and purpose.
  • Complete the Grammar 1 and Grammar 2 lessons as a class. Refer back to the text as the class attempts the lesson activities.
