Procedure
|
Objective: SWBAT review
content from last class by speaking answers to teacher’s review questions in
an oral review.
Evaluation: TWBAT gage Ss’
recollection of last lesson’s material by their enthusiasm to participate and
answer and in the accuracy in the content of their responses to review
questions.
TRANSITION: Now that we have
had a quick review from last week, let’s move onto our first new activity of
the day!...
Objective: SWBAT listen to
movies speeches to hear examples of content word stress and determine which
content words are being stressed.
o
First, Ss will watch both clips, one after the
other and listen to find the content and meaning of the speeches. *T will
note that the importance in this is that the meaning of the person’s speech
can effect which content words they choose to stress.
o
The second time, the T will pass out a
transcript sheet containing all of the words from both of the speeches. This
time around, the Ss are going to be listening specifically for the Content
Words that are being stressed. Ss should circle or underline the words that
stand out to them as content words. *T will not that even if the words are
not nouns and verbs, there is still a chance that grammar words can serve as
function words depending on the pronunciation of the speaker.
Evaluation: TWBAT determine
Ss understanding of content words by their accuracy in word choices when they
go over the stressed content words as a class.
TRANSITION: Okay, now that
we have a good understanding of content word stress, were going to move onto
some vocabulary…
Objectives: SWBAT speak and
orally review the definitions of vocab words about the Civil War assigned to
them as homework from last class.
Evaluation: TWBAT listen to
Ss answers to determine the accuracy of their given definitions of vocab
words.
TRANSITION: Now that we have
reviewed the vocab words that you were assigned for homework last week, we
are going to apply them in your next assignment…
Objective: SWBAT write a
speech focusing on the vocab words learned in the lesson and the historical
content learned in the last lesson. SWBAT deliver their speeches with a focus
on content word stress.
o Their speech
should be a paragraph 8-10 sentences long and contain inspirational reasons
for [why they are fighting (reasons), and their goals at the end of the
battle/war.
o Each speech
should be tailored to the designated side of the army for which they are
assigned, and should contain vocab and content relevant from the last lesson
to support their ideas for reasons and goals].
o Team members
will evenly divide parts of their speech and deliver it to the class. Ss
focus during speech delivery will be on content word stress.
o After speech is
finished Ss will hang their poster on the board on display to class with
their ideas.
Evaluation: TWBAT determine
if Ss have proper use of vocab words and accurate/appropriate use of
historical content. TWBAT listen for Ss application of stress in content
words in speech delivery.
CLOSING: Okay, great job
today, class! Does anyone have any questions about anything we covered today?
Okay great job and class dismissed! See you tomorrow!!
