For example:Conscience alley- where a character who is torn between two sides of an argument walks between two rows of students, one arguing one way, one the other, to try to persuade the character to take one side or the other; Hot seating- where a student takes on the role of a particular character and the other students discover his/ her perspective by asking his/ her opinion on relevant matters.

Reader's theatre activities are great for many reasons. Students can practice repetitively in order to allow their speech to sounds more natural. They can work on specific things like pronunciation, emphasis and tone. It also allows them to all participate and takes away the pressure of having to think spontaneously. Finally, it can be easily linked to different types of literature. It would be classified under the prepared and role-heavy area. ]]> 2020-05-28 13:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/morris_annalouise/1c3iwlqie8iajip8/wish/599069563 Think, Pair, Share (TPS) KeithMc https://padlet.com/morris_annalouise/1c3iwlqie8iajip8/wish/599083477 Generally a paired discussion activity, TPS is helpful for allowing students to have some type to think about their answers to questions before speaking. Since the waiting time for thinking is limited, it would be considered somewhere closer to the middle of prepared or spontaneous speech. It is also in the middle of the role-light to role-heavy spectrum as there are not as many rules other than waiting and responding to a prompt or question. It's a terrific way to encourage discussion throughout a lectures.]]> 2020-05-28 13:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/morris_annalouise/1c3iwlqie8iajip8/wish/599083477 Picture to the story sarahstevens2 https://padlet.com/morris_annalouise/1c3iwlqie8iajip8/wish/607075385 Author:

Preparation
Prepare a set of pictures that are likely to stimulate the interest and imagination of your students.


Procedure

  • Show the picture to the students and have them work in groups to prepare some questions about the photo. Below is an attachment with an example photo. Here are some example questions the students may ask. 

Who is the man? 
How old is the man? 
Where does he live?
Who is he talking to?
What is he talking about?
What is he saying?


How does he feel?
Why is he looking worried?
What will happen to him?

  • When the students are working together monitor and help with the question forming. Provide advice and correction if necessary. If students are struggling to think of questions, provide prompts. 
  • When you feel the students have produced enough questions ask students to ask you the questions orally. 
  • When you receive a question ask another group to answer. 
  • When they answer (using their imaginations) write their answers on the board. 
  • When you have exhausted all the questions, have the students work in pairs and tell a story to each other based on the answers given. If they want to change any details tell them that this is fine. 
  • Change pairs and have the students tell their stories again.
  • Now change pairs again. This time ask them to write the story they have told together. 
  • Monitor and offer advice and help if necessary. 
  • Stick the finished stories on the walls and encourage students to read each others and comment. 

Extension 
Give each pair of students a different picture. They must write a story based on the picture. If you have recording equipment available students could record their completed stories. This could then be played to all students while they look at a copy of all the original pictures. Students could then match the pictures to the recorded stories. Alternatively they could read the stories and match them to the pictures.
