DownloadingOnce you have purchased a set(s), you will receive an email with a link to download your pdf. Folow the link and instructions. You can download these and save them on to your computer, however if you lose your copy/forget to save it, you can re-use the email link up to 3 times.
Printing and PhotocopyingEach set contains a decorative front cover followed by a set of 15 prompt cards, a standard how-to-use sheet and a SimplyQuestTM. You do not need to print out the front page but can, if you would like to use this to help you organize your different sets. Print out the set on normal white paper and then later divide it up for copying as necessary. Using a variety of coloured card may help to enhance the game aspect of the system. If you prefer, simply print the prompt cards directly on to card. Don't forget to change the printer settings (paper type) if you choose to do this. Keep a black&white copy for cross referencing purposes. If useful, you can also highlight words that you anticipate having to pre-teach. If you have groups which exceed 5 students, make extra copies as necessary for each of your sub-groups. Making your setsLaminate the cards if you would like to make sure that they last for a long time. Cut the sheets with scissors or a guillotine machine.
Control SheetsPrint out the Conversation ControlTM sheets: one for you (teachers version) and one for each student (students version) in your class.
