Am I done with the weekend?

It is a wonderful feeling to be able to get out every once in a while. Last night, I listened to Mark Leavitt with my wife and friends.

But I got to get down to completing my lesson plans that I started devising since yesterday. Here's what I plan to do for the week:

Divide the class into 3 or four groups. Have them arrange their tables and chairs into a circular/rectangular formation so students in each group would be able to sit around and face their other group members.

Assign a secretary for each group who will record each group members' suggestions ideas. The secretary will submit to the teacher a record of their group's ideas after the class. The secretary will also act as the spokesperson for the group during the class discussion time.

First, hand out several copies of the make-sense-of-this.doc. This will be their email assignment for the week. Instruct them to properly format the passage. Note: the passage is only one paragraph. The passage need to be converted into the their proper lower and upper cases. The passage need to be separated according to the words. The punctuations must be placed in their proper placements. Any questions regarding the task should be directed to the teacher by email.

Second, distribute to each group the five photos to be used in this exercise. Note that the photos need to be returned for use in the other classes. Instruct the class to (1) identify subject in the photos; (2) explain how they arrived at these identities, (3) give several assumptions why the subject of the photos are what they are, (4) identify any other elements other than the subject, and (5) note what else the photos make them think of.

Third, with twenty minutes to half an hour to go before the end of the class, call into attention all the groups and get them to compare their answers. The group secretary will speak on behalf of the group. Groups are allowed to question the other group about their observances and answers.

Later this afternoon, I'll be going to the store near our residence and print the pictures I'll be needing.
