Improved Essays
This theme is very easy perceived by students as well as the perception and understanding of the material are based on the subjective experience of students. In its activities, the teacher tried to apply different forms of organization of educational activity of students, including a workshop in the group. The purpose of this lesson is to teach how to write a letter/note where the main objective is to teach the reasoned statement and use this skill to write a note/letter in which the student will be able to express his own point of view. Teacher competently organized and introduced the new material, and explained in various ways. For example, she started a lesson by asking them a question if someone ever wrote a letter to someone.

She used the personal experience and the form of mini-lesson to explain that the letter should start with the words of welcome and treatment (in this case should be considered, in what respects are sender and recipient).Then in the letter should mention of the previously received message from the recipient’s letter and must be built logically: introduction, main part, conclusion. This guided explanation, informed of what to expect prior to the reading and to writing workshop as of in mini lesson “you’re not just telling students what to do; you’re explicitly teaching that will help students internalize the key point.” …show more content…

She spends some time on an illustration by asking the questions, which are connected to the aim of the lesson and the students ' abilities to practice in prediction strategy also. During the reading, students able to pay attention to previous analyzed the letter and the written letter by Cows to Farmer. For example, what is the word “Dear” means in the letter and its position. The teacher explains, that it is a greeting sentence and that is how the letter supposes to be written at the beginning of the letter. Then, during the reading, the teacher again point on the word “ Sincerely”, what this word means, as this was the final sentences and the end of the letter, and what we need to write behind “the name of the sender.” Then this letter repeats a few times in the book, from Cows to Farmer, from Farmer to Cows, from Hens and Ducks to Farmer, which keep students in intention with the aim of the

    Upon reading this chapter, I learned a lot about the sequence I should use to teach. I really enjoyed the discussion about the skill-learning sequence such as echo techniques because that is what I was most familiar with. I was not as familiar with the echo translation process, however, that method seemed to be all-encompassing and I could eventually work towards using in my teaching. I also plan to teach systematically due to the research that shows higher student achievement. I also liked the discussion about improvisation; I never thought about how easy it could truly be to teach if you start at an early age.…

Brooks characterizes the contrasts between an engaged writer and a detached writer as the distinction between truth chasing and activism. The objectives of an engaged writer are to have a constrained "prompt political impact" while separated journalists have more sensible objectives, meaning to give a more objective point to see.…

    In order for English Language Learners to effectively ascertain the language, it is important that those students are exposed to linguistic input they can understand. In a text such as Beowulf, it is mandatory that a simplified version of the text is provided to English learners because of the already complex nature of the original text. Beowulf in its aboriginal form, Old English, is too far removed from the Modern English Language spoken today. Not only must we provide a translation for English Language Learners, we must first have provided a translation to our general education students as well, but, there should be differentiation in the translations for the two separate groups. For the general education learners, I suggest an elaboration…
