ESL/ESL class summaries and lesson plans: Difference between revisions

* Using the projector we were     able to work through page 116 and 117 of the Step Forward level 1 blue     book. I still have access to the E-books CCDA and this let us show the     images associated with the listening exercises. This section was about     parts of the body and phrases you would use at a doctor's office.

** Went over parts of the     body as a class, and the difference between Mr. Ms. and Mrs. Played     listening exercise for the new vocabulary.

** Had students practice     reviewing parts of the body in groups. Shane and I went around to ask and     answer questions.

** There was an image in     the book where students had to match the description (stomachache, fever,     etc) to the person. Students worked on this individually and then     practiced asking and answering questions about the picture (what is the     matter with the man in the red shirt? He has a fever)

** Students had some     great questions about how to describe how you are feeling or how to best     communicate with doctors and nurses.

* Reminded students to practice     what they learned between now and next class. Try to pay attention to when     you hear these terms on commercials or on products at the pharmacy.     Practice with a friend or family member

* The projected image can still     be a bit small, so we will try and do a better job of getting paged     printed out ahead of time.

* Letting the students guide     the conversation and topics has been helpful to get multiple people     participating. Will try to continue to encourage this next week.
