OPENING
HOW WILL YOU COMMUNICATE WHAT YOU
WILL TEACH? HOW WILL YOU COMMUNICATE ITS IMPORTANCE? HOW WILL YOU ENGAGE
STUDENTS AND CAPTURE INTERESTS?
-
The procedure that will be used
in this workshop will be multi-step. We will start with an expository one: a
power point presentation plus some realia (clothes, musical instruments, tea
items). We will then go through an interactive procedure inviting students to
take part in the workshop: fashion show, dancing, shopping at a souk.
-
The interest of the students
will be of course captured by: varying the activities, making them participate
actively and raising their curiosity to ask questions and make comparisons.
INTRODUCTION TO NEW MATERIAL
WHAT KEY POINTS WILL YOU EMPHASIZE
AND REITERATE? HOW WILL YOUENSURE THOSE STUDENTS ACTIVELY TAKE THE INFORMATION?
WHICH POTENTIAL MISUNDERSTANDING WILL YOU ANTICIPATE?
-
The key points to be emphasized
are: culture and understanding
-
The students will take the
information by being responsible for most of the activities as these will be
learner-centered.
-
Some areas of potential
misunderstanding might be religion, customs and some behavioral patterns.
GUIDED PRACTICE AND/OR INDEPENDENT
PRACTICE
HOW WILL YOU CLEARLY STATE AND MODEL
WHAT YOU EXPECT THE STUDENTS TO DO TO PRACTICE WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED? HOW WILL
YOU MONITOR AND CORRECT STUDENT PERFORMANCE?
-
The fact of adopting the
following procedure in this workshop: engaging, studying and activating will
help students move from one point to another smoothly. It will also help them
understand the culture of Morocco through doing.
-
Student performance can be
monitored by keeping students learning and on task.
CLOSING
HOW WILL STUDENTS SUMMARIZE WHAT THEY
LEARNED? HOW WILL STUDENTS BE ASKED TO STATE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF WHAT THEY
LEARNED?
-
A comparison procedure will be
used. Students will be required to come up with sentences like: in America people
speak ……, but in Morocco………….; In America people eat………….., in Morocco………………;
-
Students could state the significance of what
they learned through a consciousness of the globalization process. Young people
all over the world have different physical appearances but have the same
interests in sports, the same worries about the future, the same love of music…
