Grammar Project
You will be assigned a grammar topic and a partner to create a lesson to teach the class. The lesson should...
1) have some multimedia interactivity (powerpoint, youtube video, etc)
2) have some lecture and note taking
3) have a homework assignment for students to take home and complete to reinforce the lesson
4) take between 5-15 minutes to present (some lessons will take longer than others)
The day the project is due, you will be expected to present the lesson to the class. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you come in early that day or an earlier day to practice in my classroom and make sure that everything is in working order.
Come in with a backup plan! If the technology is giving you trouble, you should still be prepared to teach the lesson without eating into too much class time.
The homework assignment you will be dissemenating to your classmates is due two days before your presentation. It should take about 5 minutes to complete.
I will present a lesson on subject/verb agreement to give you an example of what I expect.
This is the link to the homework for that subject/verb agreement lesson.
Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
