Instructional Session 15

Preparation: The Guided Oral Input strategy you will be using today is a Visual Survey. This versatile strategy was first introduced in Session Six, where you can read a more detailed explanation of the strategy. As explained in Session Six, a Visual Survey is basically a series of images about a topic, which you will describe/discuss, and then a “voting slide” which shows all four of the images so that students can vote on their favorite. The example in this lesson is from our Teachers Pay Teachers store (CI Liftoff) but you can make your own quite easily, about any topic that fits with the language focus of “describing in the past and present.”
Now, on to the lesson procedures:
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, because the next session, Session 16, is the first session in the Narration cycle (Cycle Two), and you will want to have the Videographer trained to record Video Retells. See the HR Manual in the Appendices for more information.
