28Teaching Guidelines
Preparing the lesson:
o Look over the lesson outline as you skim through teaching materials. See pp 4-6 for
ideas on how to use activities.
o Think of ways to present materials with pictures, simple every day examples and
explanations.
o Come 15 minutes early to get materials from room 1 and prepare for your lesson.
Teaching the lesson:
o Warm up activities should be easy and welcoming.
o After most of your students arrive, switch over to the main lesson.
o If the students seem overwhelmed, go slower or switch to an easier exercise.
o Help students use new language learned to relate it to themselves; alter text dialogs to
include student information, use new vocabulary to write about their own lives.
o Regularly go back and review! Keep the week’s goal in mind!
Student handouts and exercises:
o Have students write their names and date on handouts.
o Students will have a pocket folder to keep their handouts in.
o Students should get 1, or at most 2, meaningful handouts to keep for review and practice.
o Students should not write in any of the books except the specially created Pre-literate
Class Binder. They can write on the sheet protectors ONLY with the provided wet erase
markers. These pages are to be wiped off at the end of each exercise or class and left to
be used by the next student.
Highlighting and notes:
o Remember to give yourself five minutes at the end of class to highlight the lessons
you’ve completed.
o Write your first name (clearly) next to the day.
o Write any notes at the bottom of the lesson page about the pros and cons of this lesson
plan or about materials you’ve added. Please be sure to make note of the page numbers
that you used so that subsequent teachers can pick up skipped pages if desired. You
could also note any pages that you used but feel should be repeated for reinforcement.
Keep in mind:
o Repetition is particularly important at this level! Repetition of materials has been built
into the curriculum to help students review vocabulary. Feel free to vary (increase) the
amount of repetition!
o
Make sure that speaking, listening, reading, and writing exercises are included in each
lesson.
