Time | Activity | Teacher [I] | Students [Thou] | Objective(s) [It] |
9:00 | Mad Libs: A Report Card (2nd to last); start to set up audio/video | Expand: Before I read, write key words on board e.g. “fellow” | Really your imaginations this time. | Warmup |
9:10 | Set up audio/video | Explain day: Max 10/5 for each. After the presentations, we will correct scripts AND record them in perfect English. So we need to finish presentations by 11:00, and hopefully sooner.
I won’t interrupt to correct unless you ask me. Want you to have the chance to go straight thru the presentation. But I will give you two kinds of feedback after: — After, tell you about some frequent mistakes — Corrections to your paper script. |
Questions? Anybody bring extra copy of script? | Understand expectations |
