DVD Teacher's notes and activities

There is a DVD (PAL/NTSC) to accompany each level of MORE!. Each DVD contains six teenage dramas which show a group of friends in various humorous situations, both in and out of school.

• Level 1 follows the adventures of a group of young British teens ('Kids in the UK')
• Level 2 follows a group of teens who are at school in New York ('Kids in NYC')
• Level 3 depicts a team of British teenagers who run their school magazine ('The School Magazine')
• Level 4 presents more adventures of the school magazine team ('School Reporters')

Portfolio Builder

The MORE! Portfolio Builder allows students to keep track of their own progress and comment on their language learning experience. It includes extra activities and mini-projects which provide a snapshot of students' ability at the various levels.

The Portfolio Contract provides an introduction to working with the Portfolio Builder and encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. The agreement is between student, teacher and parent, thus creating a supportive environment for their language studies.
