Sample Activities:
· Prior to a teacher read-aloud of a familiar story, the class discusses elements of story grammar: characters, problems, potential solutions, barriers, and outcomes. As the teacher reads the story, the students take notes for each part of the grammar and make personal associations with the story. Afterwards, students compare their reactions to the story.
· Students listen to the audio portion of a videotaped performance without viewing the picture. They compare with a partner the visual images they each imagined while listening and write brief notes about the similarities and differences between their visual images. They then view the videotape and compare what they imagined with what they saw.
· After she assigns oral reports, the teacher conducts mini-lessons on (1) what makes a good oral report and (2) what positive, productive comments can be made about oral reports. As the students make presentations, their classmates rate and comment on the reports using guidelines discussed in the mini-lessons.
