Introduction

In this chapter, you will be able to design several types of Exercises for reading comprehension, writing, and composing using Moodle 1.9.5 and Web 2.0. Reading comprehension will not be tested in a traditional way, but through imaginative and appealing activities. Pictures enhance and appeal to the students to work and brighten up their homework. Besides, we ought to take advantage of our virtual classroom and its increasing resources.

In this virtual classroom, we are going to let the imagination of our students fly so that they can imagine what they never thought they could. First, they will match pictures to texts and put them in order; later the Exercises that I propose are the opposite based on the pictures, they have to write.

The writing of the students is enriched because they read before writing. As a result, their vocabulary increases. That is the reason why reading is quite important. Though reading is a passive skill, through this skill, students incorporate a lot of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. Consequently, we turn a passive skill into an active one. By matching texts and pictures, they associate the new vocabulary with the image and they can learn it more quickly.

As I stated in the previous chapter, I always add a personal touch to any methodology, Exercise, or suggestion. So, you may find these activities as tips for your future Assignments. Let's Moodle it!
