Task 1# I love Post-It Notes and Paper Cups.
When I create activities or games I try to incorporate as many methods of perception as possible!
Post-it Activity 1 -Place picture cards on board. Have Ss write new words on post-its. Time Ss on putting correct post-it on picture cards. This can be a fun group game.
Post-it Activity 2-Place picture cards on board. Place post-it notes under picture card. With words misspelled. Have the Ss face teacher with mallet or fly swatter. Say the target word. Have Ss race to hit correct picture card then unscramble word.
Post-it Activity 3-Pick 12 words from new reading or new key expressions. Have Ss write words on post-it notes. Group the words A and B then give each words a number. Roll the dice if you roll a 2 and the word is Cat and then a 6 and the word is look. Have the Ss make a sentence with look and cat. Example: Look at the cat.
Paper Cups Activity 1-Flip Cup. Show Ss a PPT slide or picture card with new word. Have Ss race to flip over cups to spell word correctly.

    Hi Angela! 

    I can clearly see that there is a lot of movement and engagement in your classes. Having materials that students can manipulate and explore different possibilities makes the language concrete and literally easier to grasp. 

    I will have your lovely ideas in tomorrow's session!

TASK 2: Getting ready for storytelling.

TASK 2: Getting ready for storytelling. I have a group of 12 kids ranging from 7 to 8 years old. They are already familiarized with the characters of the book (Tina the tortoise, monkey, own, duck and rabbit). The leading character is Tina the tortoise. This is a pre-teaching activity and I bring realia objects to the classroom like: football, a coat, socks, a cap and a mug. I ask kids where Tina is: where is Tina? ( I act like I'm looking for her..) Oh look! Tina is in her shell! Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer) Help me kids! Repeat: Tina come out and play! ( sound of a negative answer again). Let's try again but louder! Tina, come out and play! Tina answers: No, no! It's cold outside! I say: Tina let's swim! ( I make the gesture) Tina answers: no, no! It' cold outside! I let children have ideas showing the objects inside the box! Let's play football! Children keep trying to convince her (Put on a coat! Put on a cap! Put on your socks!). A...

Week Four: Discussion Task #2 Finding the right audience and making writing meaningful Having earned some experience with the writing classes I am in a good position to recommend a proven strategy for the meaningful writing, which includes affective elements. The below step-by-step guide reflects one of the strategies I used successfully with elementary school students. I. Introducing Strategy 1. Introduction of a writing strategy (storytelling thru sequencing, describing, introducing people, 5 Ws or any other) that structures and unifies writing process as well as familiarize students to critical thinking. II. Reading Stage 2. Vocabulary and pre-reading activities with flash cards that help learners expanding the background and reinforce them how to use new words in the passage. To deal with grammar the language garden tasks were employed sometimes. 3. Exemplary passage with engaging reading topic that serves as a basis for the subsequent discussion topics. Introduced with fun, illust...
