There are many reading comprehension and dialogue resources on this site (see list below). Each reading or dialogue contains the selection, key vocabulary and expressions and a follow-up quiz. These exercises are great for individual use on the internet. They can also be incorporated into a lesson plan to help focus on specific grammar or subject areas. The following lesson plan is a blueprint to using these resources for your classes.
Aim: Provide context for various grammar or subject areas
Activity: Reading / dialogue comprehension
Level: beginning to advanced
Outline:
- Decide whether you'd like to incorporate the reading / dialogue into the lesson or assign as homework.
- As a class, review the key vocabulary section provided with each reading / dialogue. Make sure students understand this vocabulary. If they don't, ask them to explain it to each other or use a dictionary. As a last resort, explain the word or phrase to the class in your own words.
- Ask students to read reading / dialogue. If you are using a dialogue, have students first read the dialogue and then pair up to practice reading the dialogue aloud. Have students switch roles and practice a number of times. Go around the class and help students with pronunciation, intonation and stress.
- Ask students to do the quiz on their computer and keep track of their score. Alternately, you can find most of the quizzes in the printable quizzes section of the site. NOTE: I'm constantly creating new material on the site, so some of the quizzes may not have been posted yet.
- Open up the exercise to discussion. Possible questions: What did you think of this reading? Can you give other examples of this type of situation and which phrases you would use? etc.
- Key in on vocabulary by having students create a vocabulary tree. Ask students to add to this tree by working in small groups to find appropriate related vocabulary and phrases.
- Take each key word or phrase and use in a variety of questions around the class. Encourage students to do the same in small groups.
