HKTA The Yuen Yuen Institute No. 1 Secondary School is an aided co-educational CMI school located in Kwai Chung. The English teacher, Miss Yeo Shua-hoon, designed an assessment task called Book Promotion, in which the students had to discuss why a particular book should be promoted for use in the lower forms. In preparation for the task, as part of the students’ extensive reading programme, Miss Yeo formed her students into groups and let them choose their own story books from a set of simplified readers called Seriously Silly Stories written by Laurence Anholt and published by Orchard Books, which she thought suited her students' interests and level. Then each student was given a log book to record the things they had learnt from their reading. All students were taught three main types of skills, namely, thinking skills based on 'six thinking hats', dictionary skills and pronunciation skills. Students were then asked to read the book on their own, write a short book report and prepare for their presentations and interactions. Peer assessments were also undertaken for the individual presentations.
