We had several of you showing your ideas on presenting new language.
I always find this interesting!
Here are some general points which I hope are helpful and are not meant as criticism.
• Visuals need to be big enough to be seen and be sure to move them from side to side so that all the class can see.
• Think of colour / gender coding
• When using word cards go over the pronunciation. Talk about how to remember meaning and what letter combinations they have seen before
• Give feedback so that class knows what the correct response was eg when saying wrong word keep going until you get to the right one then move on or when doing indiquez la bonne image raise the correct one to confirm
• Make sure you have the correct gender and pronunciation of the key words you are teaching -
We did a chain question game based on Richard Tallaron's. We think it would be better done in groups. I will work on that.
We did a dictionary skills exercise for which there was a handout. Dr Who smartboard file and a Millionaire game I made up on superteachertools.com based on same choices.
We finished up with some creative writing based on the sans toi model (separate post)
Post your best lines in the comments of that post! Some were more romantic than others!
No class next week - mid term! Bonnes vacances!
In 2 weeks time we'll hear the rest of the mini presentations and I'll post some other homework soon.
