Theme 4

  1. Reading Short Passages
    • Proficiency / Objective
      1. Read short passages (1 to 2 paragraphs) using good fluency and articulation.
      2. Comprehend the passages.
      3. Dictate the short passages using good fluency and articulation.
    • Suggested Activities
      1. Teacher will display short pieces of text in target language around the room on different colored poster boards using large fonts.
      2. Students should pair up with a partner. There should be enough poster boards so that each student pair has one board (e.g. 20 students need 10 poster boards). One student pretends to be the “ear” and the other pretends to be the “eye”. One pair goes up at a time to a poster board chosen by the teacher (the red board, yellow board, etc). The “ear” gets blind folded and guided to one poster board. The “eyes” read the passage out loud to the “ear”. The “ear” repeats the passage as clearly and accurately as possible. The other classmates can be the judges and give a score out of 10 (higher score for less mistakes). The “ear-eye” team with highest points wins the game.
