For
today’s lesson, I planned something a little different for us to go over. I
noticed in the past, that we were getting caught up on some of the vocabulary,
and getting bogged down in some of the details and missing the big picture. I
planned a two part lesson. This was the first part, and it focused in
vocabulary. I have printed out a list of the words/phrases I wanted to go over,
and gave a copy of them to everyone there. Words like: what a small word, good
taste, wind chill, to have a car services, cough, hemming and various others.
I went through each one of these and modeled the words in sentences of my own for them to see. I actually have on average three or four variations. I also wanted them to read the sentences I had written, and work on saying the words and getting comfortable with them. This seemed to work, and after we went through them all, I asked them to write or say sentences using the vocabulary we had learned. I asked them to look over the words before next time we met, because next time we were going to be doing some reading with these words. I try not to give them much homework, because.. well, I want them to come back, and I think they get enough of that from class... but sometimes it is necessary to have them do a little something.
