Instructional Session 12
Objective: By the end of class, you will be able to… Beginner: say phrases or sentences in French to describe the heroes that people in class submitted, using words to describe their internal AND external traits Intermediate: say sentences in French to describe people’s heroes, using words to describe their internal AND external traits Advanced: say a series of connected sentences in French to describe people’s heroes, using words to describe their internal AND external traits, and using transition words to say more
Preparation You will want to have students prepare their “baby pictures” for the next session, Baby Picture Talk, and submit them to the class slideshow or other discussion tool. Please see Session 13 for more information. The Guided Oral Input strategy you will be using today is a variation on Slide Talk called Heroes Picture Talk. You can use the slideshow from our Teachers Pay Teachers store (CI Liftoff) as I used to make the demonstration lesson, or you can quite easily also make your own. You will need to have students complete their slide prior to beginning the Guided Oral Input for this session, perhaps as homework or at the end of class in a lesson prior to this one.
Continue to greet the students in English review expectations, etc., and share the lesson objective. If you have not yet set up your Videographer, I urge you to do so now, or at the latest before you move into Session 16, the first session in the Narration cycle (Cycle Two). See the HR Manual in the Appendices for more information on setting up this and other student jobs. You might make your own Reading Workshop text, use the ones in our Teachers Pay Teachers store, such as the example below, or work with a Shared Writing text from a previous lesson. First, distribute or project the text. Then, share the lesson objective if you have not already done so, check in with your Class Starter (and perhaps Videographer), and begin the lesson.
