Students recounted sentences about what they did over the weekend while the instructor placed the verbs they used into two categories: irregular and regular simple past tense verbs. The instructor also pointed out that verbs ending in the letter T and D are pronounced with an extra syllable when the "-ed" is added to the end of the verb. Students then wrote their own simple past tenses and shared example with the whole class.
Instructor passed back corrected autobiographical paragraphs. He demonstrated (two scanned examples) how two paragraphs were edited/corrected and explained typical references that are used. The importance of making mistakes was reinforced and also the importance of rereading and REWRITING corrected work. Students then worked independently to re-write their paragraphs.
Students then wrote a paragraph based of the following questions. "What did you do last Saturday?" The instructor reinforced how to turn the question into a statement and student were asked to use the instructor first sentence example as their own. The instructor circulated to make sure that students understood the assignment, used the assigned first sentence and that they indented the first sentence.
The instructor prepared the students that next week would include a "Field Trip" to the Learning Center.
Homework: Read page 18 and 19 about Montessori. Write 4 sentences about this important educational pioneer. 2 sentences can be quotes (copied from the book but with quote marks) but 2 sentences must be in your own words.
