Practicum 2(PDP)

TEE certification (anything else?)

Practicum Purpose

You will (most likely) present your EIF Lesson Plan one week and your PDP Lesson Plan the other week.

I will let you resubmit Lesson 1 next week, if you like for an additional review. I can give you a few points if for this but

not many (as it wouldn’t be fair to the other classes)

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT WEEK

If you didn’t submit materials with Lesson Plan 1 you must turn them in next week.

Optional:Edit lesson plan 1 and resubmit it Begin thinking about your PDP Lesson Plan Contents

PDP FRAMEWORK – TURN IN HW

Is it for productive or receptive skills?

What skills can we teach using the PDP framework?

PRE

DURING

POST

What happens in each stage?

PRE-STAGE

What happens in this stage?

Schema activation Background knowledge Pre-learning new vocabulary Generating interest

Why?

Set up students for successful reading/listening

WHAT NEEDS TO BE ACTIVATED AND ASSESSED PRIOR TO READING OR LISTENING?

General knowledge about the subject, cultural context

Specific knowledge about topic of the text

Knowledge about the text’s organization (genre)

GOOD READERS AND LISTENER USE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE TO:

make predictionsvisualizeask questions to monitor comprehensiondraw inferences confirm hypothesis… that’s what I expected

determine what is important in the textdemonstrate to others that they have understood what they have read

DURING STAGE

What happens in this stage of the lesson?

When are the tasks given to Ss?

What is the purpose of a reading lesson? If we give tasks after the Ss watch, listen or read, what are we assessing; memory or comprehension?

How does it happen; i.e., how are the activities sequenced?

SEQUENCING OF TASKS

Task are given before learners read or listen

Tasks are sequenced from:

General to specificEasy to DifficultConcrete to abstract

DURING STAGE

What happens first: Skimming activities or scanning activities? Why?

Where in the PDP lesson is the SLO achieved?

What kind of activity do we need to assess Ss comprehension of the listen/reading text?

Can you give me some example of these kinds of activities?

SKIMMING ACTIVITIES ordering/numbering items of main ideas making a list of main or significant events reading or listening for the mood, feeling or tone of the text outline the main or fill in an outline where the details are provided but not the main ideas

ranking the importance of the main ideas or significant events checking off relevant information from a text or picture select the correct response such as what’s the best title for this passage label pictures, graph, or graphic organizer matching picture with description matching two general pieces of information writing summary statements

checking off relevant information from a text or picture ordering/numbering items label pictures or parts of pictures matching two pieces of information fill in a graph, or graphic organizer fill in the blanks ranking true/false multiple choice writing short answers

SCANNING ACTIVITIES

A LIST OF COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES

Summary/ Sequencing a summary

Retelling

Sequencing pictures

Using pictures to retell the text

Synthesis such as making inferences, drawing conclusion or reading/listening between the lines

Application of new knowledge; e.g. using what they have learned to identify the technique being used

Discussion

Debate

DURING STAGE

A cloze activity checks Ss comprehension at the word/sentence level. Is this a good final assessment activity of a listening or reading text?

Why do we need to check Ss comprehension at the text/discourse level?

Where in the reading lesson should Ss be reading/listening between lines, making inferences and drawing conclusions? Why?

BUILDING SCHEMATABUILDING CONNECTIONS

Text to Self – connect to yourself

choose texts with characters the same age as the students, or had similar problems and experiences

let learners share connections from past experiences

BUILDING SCHEMATABUILDING CONNECTIONS

Text to Text – connect this book to others

compare characters, their personalities, and actions compare story events and plot lines compare lessons, themes, or messages in storiesfind common themes, writing style, or perspectives in the work of a single author

compare treatment of common themes by different authors

compare different versions of familiar stories

BUILDING SCHEMATABUILDING CONNECTIONS

Text to World – connect books to the world

create posters and adswrite in a reading or listening response journals

complete projects about the topic or theme

perform role plays or skits

POST STAGE

The POST stage is “extra icing on the cake”

When does it happen in the lesson?What happens at this stage of the lesson?

How does the POST stage relate to Tomlinson’s aspects of good materials?

PRE

DURING

POST

Why the diamond?

LOOK AT THESE TWO SLOS.HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

By the end of the lesson SWBAT ask and answer questions using frequency adverbs (always, usually, sometimes, seldom, never) in the dialog (A: How often do you ___? B: I _____ _____.) BY doing a classroom survey.

By the end of the lesson SWBAT demonstrate their comprehension of the text, “That’s Her Problem” BY retelling the story with picture support.

RECEPTIVE SKILLS SLO FORMULA

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT…

demonstrate their understanding/comprehension of the

(text/passage/story/dialog/conversation/article),

(title of text)

BY ______(doing something)__________.

EXAMPLE

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate their understanding of the conversations, “Problems at the Airport” BY describing the inferred conclusions about what each speaker will do.

YOU TRY

Write and SLO for the following:

1. fable “The Hungry Father-in-Law”

2. debate “Should We Build the New Library”

3. public service announcement “What to Do in Case of a Fire”

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate their understanding of the fairytale, “The Hungry Father-in-Law” BY inferring the moral that we can learn from the story.

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate their understanding of the public service announcement, “Should We Build the New Library” BY summarizing the debate using a graphic organizer.

By the end of the lesson, SWBAT demonstrate their understanding of the story, “What to Do in Case of a Fire” BY drawing a diagram or making a poster that shows the sequence described in the announcement.

1. Show picture of bus station. Elicit background knowledge by using guiding Qs: “Where do you think this is? What’s happening? Etc…”

2. Introduce topic: “Long distance travel by bus.” Ask Ss if they have every gone a long distance by bus? Ask if they’ve traveled by bus in an English speaking country?

3. Give task: “How many people are speaking? Where are they?” Let Ss read Qs. Ss listen to the text. Ss check answers together, T elicits correct answers from group

4. Give task a series of T/F statements, let Ss read statements, then Ss listen to text. Ss check answers together, T elicits correct answers from group

5. Give task: Each Ss gets a bus ticket with a destination. Ss must listen and find their bus number. Different Destination for each Ss. When Ss hear their bus number they should stand up. T play tape several time until most/all Ss can stand up when their bus number is called.

6. Give Task: “Why is the older lady worried?” “What suggestion will the clerk make.” Ss read Qs. Ss listen to text. Ss check answers together, T elicits correct answers from group

7. Give Ss a bus schedule and a map of the US. Ask Ss to plan a trip to some place in the US. Ss will describe what bus/buses they will take. How long it will take and the cost of the travel.

Pre Assess Ss prior knowledge Intros topic and allows Ss to share past experience to create interest and relevance

During Its a general listening task Its an easy specific listening task. It’s a more difficult specific listening task It’s the most difficult listening task because it requires Ss to use inference and draw conclusion which assess Ss knowledge at the text/discourse level

Post Ss do a task that moves beyond the text that allows personalization of topic/theme and gives them a chance to connect topic theme to their own lives

HOW MANY WORDS?500,000 to 1,000,000 words in EnglishEducated native English adult knows about 20,000

We learn about 1,000 a yearWe use about 1,800 in everyday conversation

THRESHOLD LEVELS

Everyday conversation learners need 1800 to 2000 words for 80% comprehension.

For non-academic reading texts learners need about 5000 words for 90% comprehension.

For academic texts, the number of words needed for 80% comprehension varies greatly by genre.

THREE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED

Identify the most frequent 2,000 to 5,000 vocabulary items

Help learners learn how to learn vocabulary on their own

Don’t begin reading instruction with low level learners until they have a threshold vocabulary level of at 1200 words.

INTRODUCTION TO BLOOM’S TAXONOMY

Sequencing of tasks and questions in reading activities is not a new idea

Bloom introduced his taxonomy of reading questions in 1956

Bloom, like Grellet, believes that tasks should move from easier to more difficult, and from concrete to more abstract forms of thinking

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
