| Pitfall | Symptom | Fix | |---------|---------|-----| | | Objectives don’t match the texts you’ve chosen. | Check the version number (e.g., “2023‑2024”) on the cover page before you start. | | Copy‑pasting rubric language without context | Students feel the language is “too formal.” | Re‑phrase the descriptors in student‑friendly language while keeping the essence. | | Relying only on the PDF for resources | Limited variety of texts, especially for diverse cultures. | Supplement with local authors , online news sites , and multimedia that still address the same concepts. | | Ignoring the ATL skills | Assessments focus only on content, not on learning processes. | Build a “Skill‑Check” column in your lesson plan that explicitly asks “Which ATL skill are we practising today?” | | Not sharing the PDF with students | Students are unaware of the success criteria. | Create a student‑friendly one‑pager (2‑page PDF) summarising the key criteria and share via Google Classroom. |
