These instructional materials include six supplementary units for Tech Prep English I (grade 9) and six assignments for Tech Prep English II (grade 10). The Tech Prep English I units have these components: unit objectives, introduction, and follow-up exercises. Topics include goal setting, problem solving and decision making, listening and reading comprehension, development of strong analytical skills, the research process, and expansion of research skills. Tech Prep English II consists of six assignments that reinforce writing and speaking skills, cooperative learning, problem solving skills, and creativity. The assignments center around a mythical small town to which the students are introduced in a prefatory letter. Three assignments are group activities; two are individual activities; and one can be used either way. The exercises are role plays, newspaper ad, letter from the mayor, writing round robin, memo writing, and city council proposals. All necessary information and materials are provided. (YLB)
