How can teachers ensure that the students have read or viewed all three texts from the beginning to the end?
Students should keep a log book which can serve as evidence that they have done some reading/viewing. Some students will read every single page; others will skim through the book and skip chapters, and they may give up at the end. It is better not to assess students on a book that they did not like, unless they are very passionate about why they did not like it and why they did not finish it. However, the purpose of the assessment is to assess the speaking ability of the student, not whether he/she has read/viewed a text. Teachers can assign other work based on the texts if they like to ensure that their students have done the reading/viewing, although that will not form part of the SBA mark.
