Add parallel text, video, audio or image to this resource... (optional)

You can add an additional text, image, audio or video which will appear along with your resource. (See the links below for more info...) If you do this, an icon is automatically added to the menu screen and all the activity screens (see the various icons below). Users can click this icon to view their activity along with the parallel text or other media.

Video url: (See here for more details)

Audio url: (See here for more details)

Image url: (See here for more details)

Type a parallel or additional text into the text box below. (See here for more details)

More parallel text options... (optional)

A-Z word list as parallel text? Click this link to add an alphabetical wordlist featuring all the unique words in your text, which students can use as a spelling reference. (Note that this alphabteical list replaces any existing parallel text.)

See also the following options, which you can use in any combination that makes sense:

Use your matching items as parallel text for text activities (only applies to Text+Match resources).
Use the main textivate text as parallel text for match activities (only applies to Text+Match resources).
No parallel text for text activities. (i.e. parallel text only shows for match activities)
No parallel text for match activities. (i.e. parallel text only shows for text activities)

(Of course, you can add all of the above by entering the formatted text into the 'Show all' textbox manually, as described in this blog post.)

Exclude activities from menu (optional)

By default, all activities are available via the menu screen, provided the resource meets the requirements of each activity in terms of number of words etc. And obviously, text activities are not displayed for match resources and vice versa.

You can use this section to exclude particular activities from the menu screen. Select the activities that you wish to exclude:

Create an activity sequence based on this resource... (optional)

If you have a Premium or Group subscription, you can create an activity sequence for your students to complete for homework! Your sequence will have its own URL that you can share with your students.

The idea behind a "sequence" is that students must complete the activities in the order that you specify and for most activities you can set a target score that is required to move on to the next activity in the sequence. Once the sequence is complete, students can upload a record of their work to the textivate server, so that you as a teacher can check that it was completed successfully. You get a record of global scores and time taken as well as a breakdown of results for individual activities in the sequence.

User-defined gap-fill...

A random gap-fill is always generated automatically based on your text in textivate. And because it is randomly generated, the gaps change each time the exercise is loaded. But this screen creates an extra gap-fill exercise where you decide which words are gapped.

Click on the words in the text below to toggle between gapped / ungapped. A gapped word appears as underlined on this screen (and with [#] in front of them on the textivate edit screen - you can add gaps manually in this way if you prefer). You can have more than one word per gap: first make 2 consecutive words gapped, then click on the '+' symbol to join / unjoin. (Words joined as one gap appear as joined with an underscore _ on the textivate edit screen.)

You can add clues / prompts for your gaps if you like. To do this, type your clue or prompt after the # on the textivate edit screen, like this: [#your clue here]the_gapped_word. N.B. Clues / prompts only appear when the word list is not displayed.

You can also add "red herrings" if you like. These are words or answers which do not fit in any of the gaps in your text. Scroll down to below the text box for more information. N.B. Red herrings only appear when the word list is displayed.

A maximum of 26 gaps will be displayed in your exercise (26 will be selected at random if you have more).

This user-defined gap-fill exercise can be accessed via an additional gap-fill button on the textivate menu screen.

Number of gaps: 0 Remove all gaps

Red herrings:

Add extra gaps here to make your gap-fill more difficult. Make sure these are words that cannot be correct in any of the gaps you have created in your text above. The extra gaps can have more than one word per gap. Separate your extra "red herring" gaps with a semi-colon ( ; )

e.g.: first gap;second gap;number three;another

N.B. These "red herring" gaps only appear if you choose to show the word list, but they limit the number of gaps available for your exercise if the total number of genuine gaps + red herring gaps is more than 26. If this is the case, all of the red herring gaps are used and the genuine gaps are selected randomly to make up 26 gaps in total.
