Reflect on the questions: 
 
1. What types of projects do you know? 
2. How many stages are there in the implementation of a 
project?
3. What skills are necessary for implementation of a project? 
4. What variations of the problem-solving methods do you 
know? 
5. Can you give additional information about the problem-
solving method? 
6. What difficulties can you point out in organizing debates? 
How much time is spent for its organization? 
7. What do we mean by the case-study technology? 
8. Is the game technology effective in ELT?
9. What technologies are widely used in the El classrooms? 
 
Activities: 
 
1. Study the procedure of organizing a travel project taken from
the article “No Books and 150 students?” by Kim Hughes Wilhelm 
(2006: 26).
A small group (5-6 students) plans a two-week trip to a 
different country. They must decide their travel itinerary and specify 
where they will be each day and what they will do. Students work

out a prospective budget with imaginary fund, to include costs for 
transportation, food, accommodation, and entertainment. They 
discuss what they will see in each city or region they visit. 
It works well to have students prepare a scrapbook as the final 
product. Many groups create a scrapbook that highlights events on 
“Day 1”, “Day 2”, “Day 3”, and so on. Another possibility is to 
have each group act as travel agents trying to “sell” their trip to an 
audience of students. Four or five groups of “travel agents” can 
make a presentation in the classroom simultaneously, with the 
audiences rotating from group to group, and, at the end, ranking 
each trip (1-5). 
On the basis of this sample outline write instructions for 
organizing a project work at school, or lyceum, or college. Think 
about criteria for assessment of this activity. 
2. The presented lesson plan on critical reading developed by 
Yana Vladimirovna Mokshina – a teacher of the English language 
at a lyceum illustrates the usage of the proposed methods in each 
stage of developing critical thinking.
Study it and think about stages and technologies are used in 
this lesson. Are they successful and relevant to the 3-d grade of 
school learners? What will you adapt to them?
