A Research Based Assignment to Middle School Students.

A Research based Home Assignment

Do My Research!
This is an extremely engaging way to provide extended practice of any grammar point. Say you want your students to practice comparatives and superlatives. Tell them you need information on this year's Asianet Filmfare Award nominations. Tell them to go to visit the website en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asianet_Film_Awards
  and give them a list of questions they must answer:
·         Which of the nominees for Best Picture is the longest film? Which is the shortest? The most popular? Earned the most money at the box office?
·         Which film has the most nominations?
·         Which in your opinion is the best film?
·         Compare two of the actresses nominated for Best Actress. Who is older? Younger? Taller? Prettier?
·         Etc…
Just make sure you give them a website to go to, a set of questions to answer or a task to complete, and above all don't forget to plan the assignment with a grammar point or learning objective in mind.
