ICR Class 12: Super Book Day 1
Summary: We are almost finished with your shared listening to news stories (10) and graded readers (8).
When you have time this week, please write reflections in your Google Doc to think about your English learning progress. The questions are:
1. How did you participate in class today? Please describe as best you can.
2. What did you learn about your issue? Your speaking pairs issues?
3. What are your next SMART (simple, manageable, attainable, reasonable, timely) learning goals?
Sample Super Book Talk Slide Shows:
Presenters’ Homework for Class 13 due by Sunday 5 p.m.:
1. Choose the best graded reader that you have already taken notes on to make your Super Book Talk presentation.
2. Review these loose Super Book Talk Guidelines. The goals are to:
-Do the Super Book Talk task
-Use a variety of sentences with some challenging vocabulary summarized by you
-Use of relevant and accurate details that show you read the book
-Demonstrate a complete understanding of the book you read
-Make inferences (guessing about the text) from the book and have a clear focus
-Easy to listen to with a sense of voice and explore the acting of characters’ voices.
3. Digital sharing is best like PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Prezzie.
4. Please email me with your attachment, or put your file in our shared Google file, and I will be notified.
5. There are some examples of Super Book Talk presentations from another university.
6. Please do not copy/paste the words from the book. It is better to summarize as best you can in your own words. However, if there are some really cool phrases or sentences from the book you would like to share, please use “quotation marks.”
8. The title of the book, the author’s name, and your name need to be included.
9. Usually, each Super Book talk should last five to seven minutes, with time for questions and answers from the audience.
10. Also, could you remember to make a thank you, question, and answer page at the end.
If your listening and reading homework entries are not finished, please upload them to your Google Drive Shared file before Class 13 on Friday at 1 p.m.: Please upload pictures of your notes in your Shared Google file under the section “第 12回 Cycle 2 Sharing News Stories & Graded Readers 8.”
In the Spring Semester, you do out-of-class listening (10 times, about two pages each time) and read and talk about a minimum of 8 graded readers from the Chuo Library’s Maruzen eBook Library of graded readers. Please see the links and instructions below. The main thing is to do some homeworkin every class. You can do it little by little at your own pace.
By note-taking, please feel free to use charts, diagrams, and colors as you like. Then, can you take pictures of them and put them in your shared drive file with me?
