Simplified text for Daedalus and Icarus

After having discussion of the text, Daedalus and Icarus in the class, we were told by Dr Edwin to come out with a simplified version of the text in order to be used to teach secondary school students. I believed that having a simplified text was useful in order to make sure that students understand the major events in the story especially for lower-level proficiency learners. It was better to get something than nothing. The reason for it was if we were to use authentic texts in the class but most students were not able to read it, what is the point? It will lower down their self motivation to read as the students felt they were not good enough. In this activity, we worked in group of 3, Pui looi, Jasmit and I were in a group. We discussed on the main events in the story together in the class but due to shortage of time, I volunteered to write out the simplified text based on the points that we had discussed. The simplified text was then given to Pui Looi and Jasmit to check for any grammatical mistakes and they can add in points if relevant. I think we worked well together. We were now anxiously waiting for Dr. Edwin's opinions regarding the simplified text.
