Let me start this point by quoting “When one door is shut, another opens,” (Cervantes, “Don Quixote,” 1547-1416).
It is very probably that my teachings have gone misled on the wrong direction, but new learning has given me the opportunity for better knowledge development. My previous lesson plan contained an item called Technology resources needed for this lesson, which described as follows: Internet connection, a computer, video equipment, and web addresses. Such a description, however, does not seem to say much; consequently, to solve this difficulty, the help of technology must be added.
Power Point might, for instance, help construct a more interactive teaching and a more actively learning class. The title of the lesson is Narrative Language. Learners have to go through the Power Point slide show and check for students’ assignment. They have to carry out some tasks; for example, to read a short text, and to read the instructions; to choose a verb from a combo box and to match it with one of the figurines sown on another slide.
In order to perform the tasks, a lot of thinking is needed on the part of the learners. Then, they are required to form coherent sentences (sentence connectors have been supplied) as to tell a story from the exercise.
Next task corresponds to writing down the story in a narration form with 100% accuracy; then it must be e-mailed to the teacher for assessment at: hholguer@yahoo.com.
The technique that has to be used is that of small grouping, groups of three’s for this specific purpose will do.
Assessment technique might call for both holistic rubric or analytic rubric; holistic in the sense of measuring the student’s language performance, i.e. what the student can do with language. And analytic, in the sense of scoring the student’s appropriate item selection; that means evaluating how much he or she was able to remembering.
To conclude, let the writer think that what has been done may be viewed as another step towards improvement.
