In this short unit we learned about the use of different materials to accomplish our goals in the classroom. We discussed the differences between authentic materials and created materials such as a menu from a restaurant versus the typical word search found in the puzzle books. There are advantages to using both and they should be considered valuable for any lesson planning. There is also the course book option. It does take a lot of planning and organizing out of the hands of the teacher but can be helpful in certain class situations and we did look at things to consider if we were to use a course book option and how to select one based on certain criteria.
