Hello everyone,
Could you please help me find out mistakes in my daily plan?
As a teacher, before I go to school, I have to prepare my daily plans for the curriculum. Tomorrow, we'll have a text to do. I have already asked my students to read it at home and translate it into their native language. My daily plan is as follows:
1. I'll greet my students when I enter the classroom.
2. I'll ask my students if they have their books (their English books).
3. We will do "Episode 1: The journey begins".
4. I'll ask each student to read some lines of the text, and I'll take out some words for the student from those lines and write them on the board. After that, I'll ask him/her for their meanings (I'll ask the student to tell me their meanings). Finally, I will ask him/her to translate what he/she will read.
5. We will continue like this until we finish the text. (I mean "All the students should participate and do the same thing and go through that process until the whole text is finished."
If you have a better idea, please tell me.
Joseph ACould you please help me find out the mistakes in my daily plan?
That's the first one.
As a teacher, before I go to school, I have to prepare my daily plans for the curriculum.
It means: before the school year begins, you will make a very long list of every day's activities for every course that is given in the school. Every teacher is expected to do this.
I do not believe that is what you mean to say.
Tomorrow, we'll have a text (wrong word.) to do. I have already asked my students to read it at home and translate it into their native language. My daily plan is as follows:
1. I'll greet my students when I enter the classroom.
2. I'll ask my students if they have their books (their English books).
3. We will do "Episode 1: The journey begins".
4. I'll ask each student to read some lines of the text, and I'll take out some words for the student from those lines and write them on the board. After that, I'll ask him/her them for their meanings (I'll ask the student to tell me their meanings). Finally, I will ask him/her them to translate what they have he/she will read.
5. We will continue like this until we finish the text. (I mean "All the students should participate and do the same thing and go through that process until the whole text is finished."
Suggested changes:
I am a teacher. Each day before I leave for school, I have to plan the day's activities. Tomorrow, for example, I have given my English class students a reading assignment. Here is my plan for that English class:
1. I go into the classroom and greet the students, "Good Morning, class." They respond in unison "Good Morning, Teacher."
2. I ask the class to take out their books and turn to page 34, which is the first page in their assignment. It is a chapter, "Episode 1. The journey begins..."
3. I ask each student in turn, to read three or four sentences out loud.
4. After they finish, I pick out some vocabulary words and write them on the board.
5. I ask all the students to find these words in the text that was just read. I ask the student who read it the meanings of the words. Then I ask that student for a translation of the passage into their native language. After that, I go to the next student.
6. We continue this until we reach the end of the assignment, which for today is the end of Episode 1. The assignment is about 10 pages, so each student will have two or three turns at being the reader.
7. I then ask the students to open their notebook and write a summary of the reading assignment, using the vocabulary words that we just studied.
Thanks a lot, AlpheccaStars.
The one you mentioned above is "annual plan". Specifically,"First Semester Plan for the 11th-Grade Curriculum, for example" or "Second Semester...". We have to prapare this before the school year begins.
Here, we have daily plans as well. When we want to study something next lesson, we have to write what we want to do. Each class/lesson, this is repeated until the curriculum is finished.
Excuse me AlpheccaStars, why is "curriculum" wrong?
Could you please tell me why "text" is wrong? It is a chapter from "Around the world in 80 days". Can't we call it "text"?
Thank you so much for your useful feedback.Sorry for interfering, but this part of your suggestion has stopped me. I'm wondering, why did you use the present perfect tense there?
Did you intend to make a reader imagine the event as if it were happening in the present?
Why didn't you say, for instance, either one of the following?
Tomorrow, for example, I will give my English class students a reading assignment.
Tomorrow, for example, I will be giving my English class students a reading assignment.
Thank you
A curriculum is a list (usually including a brief description) of every course that is taught in a school - every grade level.. For example the software engineering curriculum at a university might include:
Introduction to Computers
History of Computing
Theory of Operating Systems
Data Management Systems
Networking and Network Administration
Advanced C++ programming
and many many more.
It does not mean the classes that a teacher is teaching in one term.
No. "text" is not used in that way. It is more like "writing content." "Text" is generally non-count.
Here are some examples:
Here is the full text of his resignation letter to Prime Minister. (The content of the letter.)
Some people just look at the pictures in a book, they don't pay attention to the text. (The written content.)
Most times the randomly generated text displayed on the screen is a jumbled mess of nothing.
Programs that convert text to speech have greatly improved.
OCR programs convert pages of scanned images to searchable text.
It was not very well written.
Each day before I leave for school, I have to plan the day's activities. Tomorrow, for example. (I meant what I have to do tomorrow morning, when today's homework for the students is a reading assignment.) I have given my English class students a reading assignment. Here is my plan for that English class:
Understood. Thanks a lot for clearing it up.
