Listening, Note-taking, Summary Writing

Make PowerPoints to illustrate short stories. To have students practice grammar, listening, note-taking, retelling the story, and summary (paragraph) writing, try the following: Sample PowerPoints:
 * Begin with some vocabulary and/or conversation questions to prepare the students for the topics/themes and vocab in the story
 * Pair up students and ask for listeners and speakers from each pair
 * Speakers stay in the classroom; the listeners go outside (with an activity while they wait)
 * The speakers are provided with a printout of the notes pages of the PowerPoint and are told that they can ask questions and that they should take notes on the handout
 * Tell the story, showing the PowerPoint; at the end of the story, ask comprehension questions to the speakers
 * The listeners are invited back in, and the speakers tell the story in their own words (with a focus on the verb tense being studied), using their notes and the pictures from the PPT slides; the listeners then take notes
 * As needed, tell the story again, with the PPT, to the entire class and again ask questions to check the comprehension of the listeners
 * Then distribute a list of questions that probe at summarizing; students write complete sentences to the questions, and then we discuss; the sentences become the outline/draft of their summary paragraphs

Personal Seal Project: Writing prompt



My Personal Seal by Ruben V.

My personal seal has different images and symbols that demonstrate who I am. There is a background image and four symbols or images. Opposite to you in the top right part there is a familiar photo, which represents my family and the families of the world. The other two following ones of the top and low left part represent health in the world. The following one represents where from I am, and freedom to fight for your challenges, to know that nothing is impossible in this life. The background image of a wolf howling in the moonlight represents a fortress, fury,confidence, and intelligence to cross the world without fear. In conclusion, this seal demonstrates my character, what I value in life, and how it is important to still be alive.
