On Monday, September 29, we talked a little bit about the language conventions lesson plans that you turned in. Then we began a demonstration of a lesson on teaching grammar in the context of a work of literature. After reading Guy deMaupassant’s “The Necklace,” we learned what participles and participial phrases are and how they can add description and a little complexity to our sentences. After the lesson, we discussed how to modify instruction to suit the needs of differing learners and how to write an objective for that lesson.
For Monday, September 26, your reading assignment is Burke’s Chapter 7. As well as reading that chapter, please also write at least five questions to facilitate critical thinking or discussion. Bring those questions with you to class.
