Friday November 7th my group met and discussed our 3rd and 4th genres. Tonight we handed in our genres and had them peer-reviewed.
At first, I was a little confused by some of the concepts that Aaron and Adib had about the genres but I caught on. I like the short stories that we chose for the Listening Discrimination genre. We chose the theme of winter and worked the entire genre around it. The exercise is a good one because it puts new vocabulary in the natural context. Also, there is second portion of the genre that puts the vocabulary in a different context.
Our 2nd genre is a game that Adib came up with. It has a little bit of memorization which is something that is not seen too often but I think it is an activity that would benefit students especially with their confidence.
I think the remaining genres need to be centered on the rest of the Standards of Teaching. Our group has been brainstorming to come up with ideas and that is where our aim will be for the next and last two genres.
