Working documents used in the English Block at Kakamega

Each student had a Personal File with a metal clip in which to keep the working documents and his collection of writing done during the term.
The Secretary had a Minute Book which was the record of the group work. It had two purposes: the first was to be a record which the teacher in charge - the Group Tutor - could use to keep an eye on the group; the second was to be a continuing lesson in being systematic and orderly, and keeping businesslike records.
What follows is a selection of the documents. These, like the rules of a team game, were intended to be short. Students were asked to do a lot of work. Most of it was to be done themselves. Not a lot of time was to be spent on these documents. However they themselves are part of the communicative environment - they are intended to communicate and they provide examples of a certain genre. Any questions about what to do can be referred to them. They embody in them the principle that a writen document can be understood even if not every single word is known. That is, the language level is perhaps slightly more advanced than the students could be expected to know.
The documents were originally typed on foolscap stensils and printed on a duplicating machine, the most advanced technology available at the time.
