ASCD Book: Total Participation Techniques: Making Every Student an Active Learner - 0 views

    Chapter 6 of this book by Pérsida Himmele and William Himmele focuses on Total Participation Techniques that move.

I think it can be especially helpful to world language teachers looking to encourage students to discuss academic topics in the target language. (Week 9)

    Lesson plan for studying Victor Hugo's Les Misérables with students using novel and character summaries in the target language. While the multiple choice questions in the lesson are mere comprehension questions, some of the discussion questions address main idea and supporting details. Teachers could also develop their own multiple choice questions for the passages to address main idea and supporting details.

      For our purposes, the three highlighted resources on this page would be the three presentations I would use to introduce the skill. I would recommend that the first one be assigned for homework in a flipped scenario since they should have encountered main ideas in English class before this lesson. Then the other two can be done in class with the teacher and student interaction on the activities.

    Slideshows teaching these skills with built in activities for students. Slideshows are in English, but students will need to understand the skill first before they can transfer it to the target language. Teachers can provide French examples to supplement the slideshows.
