Modes: Presentational Writing, Interpretive Reading, Presentational Speaking Materials Needed: Forum (see notes), Profile worksheet Description: This activity is designed to illustrate how language is more than an assortment of static parts. Language learning and use is heavily contextualized so that students will learn with the purpose of interpersonal communication. This activity is ideal for novice level students. Procedure:
It is important to note here that students can use this activity to create a class vocabulary list. Alternatively, the teacher may provide a basic list and add to it or direct students to an alternative source for accessing the necessary vocabulary to complete the activity.
Notes: The popularity of certain social media, and types of forums are different for every high school. Ideally, the teacher will create some sort of shared space for their classroom (be a Canvas discussion page, external site, Facebook group, Google Classroom, etc.) in which to conduct this activity. The goal with this space is to be able to post every student’s profile in one place and have the ability to comment on one another’s posts. Additionally, this activity has immense potential for further extension activities. For example, teachers could have students create an online dialogue with one other student in which they make plans together, discuss similarities and differences between them, discuss their ideal partner, etc. Dialogues like this can be presented as skits as well. Ideally this is an activity that will be done later in the year in order to reinforce many different kinds of vocabulary and sentence structures that students have already learned (suggestions with present tense verbs, hobbies, body parts, colors, stating preference, etc.). |
