Class on Monday began with Mariya giving her presentation about speaking skills. She led a discussion about accuracy, fluency, suprasegmentals and segmentals. It was nice to talk about the above aspects of speaking and to hear what everyone else thought of them.
We then got into groups and were given a context in which we were teachers and had to figure out how to integrate speaking into the lesson. Everyone in my group had marvelous ideas and so did the rest of the class. Mariya did a nice job presenting the material and I could tell she is extremely comfortable in front of a class.
We then went to the G.L.L. and looked up materials that could be used for teaching speaking. We then had to use one of those materials to teach a lesson. I think Rachel and I got Charlie's idea of a recipe and I absolutely LOVED that idea. Rachel and I thought of an Iron Chef lesson which sounds fun to me. We then started to peer review what each of us had found to represent the different standards of teaching.
I ended my night looking through the stacks of books to begin my Unit Plan that is due next class period.
