Unit 25: Selection and Use of Supplementary Materials and Activities

     Sometimes the materials that we have for offering our students do not help to cover the whole lesson, and then there is where supplementary materials help to students and teachers respectively. Supplementary materials are nowadays easier to get because almost everybody has access to internet that is a really powerful tool and source to get extra materials and aids for an educator. Supplementary materials should be selected according to the topic we teach to reinforce our students’ learning outcomes, these extra materials and activities would be useful at the moment some students’ finish the activities set earlier or for some other students that find difficult the assigned tasks. Finally, to clarify an important point is that when we take supplementary materials to a class we are not changing the syllabus, just making it fits to our students’ necessities. 

I attach a link of a webpage above that gives more information on how to select supplementary materials giving us clues on what to take into account before selecting supplementary materials:
