Language Research has shown that comprehensible input is crucial, and also without narrative students cannot develop fluency.
For example: the legend depicted in a painting, the sequence of events in a period of history, or the story behind the construction of a skyscraper.

-It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, he proposed 7 different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.

The core routines are a set of seven or so routines that target different types of thinking from across the modules. These routines are easy to get started with and are commonly found in Visible Thinking teachers' toolkits. Try getting started with with one of these routines. http://www.pz.harvard.edu/vt/VisibleThinking_html_files/03_ThinkingRoutines/03c_CoreRoutines.html

Always good to use PPT to keep a repertoire of speaking frames at hand, or plan them into your lesson plan…

More Warm Up Discuss with your partner Hi, my name is ______.Nice to meet you. (I’m _______ NTMY2)I was wondering would you tell me about _______________________?~tell me a memorable school moment?~tell me about your favorite teacher?~tell me what ‘keys’ ingredients are?
My Cooperative Learning Rules(1) 1-2 minutes of teacher modeling(2) 30 seconds - 2 mins for 1st person, then call CHANGE!(3) Partner only listens (and nods…)(4) 30 seconds - 2 mins for 2nd person(5)Optional sharing if time
What are key ingredients?
Key Ingredients (1) Understanding Korean kids (2) Working with Korean co-teachers (3)How to be a happy & inspired teacher (4) Making fun & laughter in the class (5) Creating a student centered class (6) Lowering affective filters (fear & boring) (7) The 4 x 25% rule for course/class design (8) Bring your course-book alive adaptation (9) Using awesome MALL & Internet tools (10) DIY is best: The classroom is your canvas
(1) Understanding Korean Kids Strong group mentality Rice planting culture & Confucian training Youngest kids want someone who is a mother or father figure They expect teachers to be “god-like” Too busy for homework sometimes
Tips for Teaching Korean Kids Always smile Be patient – takes time to get it right Never, ever shout - or be too nice Ask co-teachers to help Find your own management system Never admit failure Tune into your inner brilliance
(2) Working with co-Teachers Co-teachers will vary Ur key is compassion & care, interest Koreans very passionate - very quiet Some teachers are taught not to “interfere” with others Age is very important in Korea. If your colleague is older than you there may be a “respect gap” which you have to navigate carefully.
Tips for co-Teachers Always smile Be patient and realize it takes time Show how much you are interested in your students, and in Korea Be uber-polite and schedule time with them at their convenience. Dress for success, appearance, posture, voice tone - all the signs of professionalism as a public person.

(4) Fun & Laughter
(5) Student Centered 80-20% rule. Possible? Nearly? Sometimes? Classroom organization Needs analysis Softening the environment Allow mistakes in the classroom
80-20Rule
“As we start the new school year Mr. Smith I want you toknow that I am an Abstract-Sequential Learner and trustthat you will conduct yourself accordingly.”
(6) Affective Filters Student’s interests. Learner surveys. Asking for information before you make the PPTs. Following kids media, what kids play online etc. Knowing latest trends/music etc.
Student Centered
(7) Nation’s 25% Rule 25% meaningful input 25% language focused learning 25% meaning focused output 25% fluency development
Meaning-focused input teacher talk Reading & read alouds videos songs listening materials that are easy enough for most students to understand meaning.
Language focused learning = word study, grammar drilling, learning chants and songs teacher explaining cultural use of language, sentence building, practicing and memorizing the course- book dialogues.
Meaning-focused output= Students talking or writing about things that they are actually invested in, care about, have an interest-in. The focus is on task not on completing a task, not perfect language accuracy.
Fluency development = ery simple - 25% of all your class time should be student-centered review of previously learned material from within the class and from previous classes. They need practice with the language.
ConnectHow are the ideas connected to what you already know? I thought about how______. I already knew __________.I remembered _____________.

My favorite adaptation ‘keys’ Change the color of your textbook!
i. Using “Entry Points”. ii. 5 minute “Brain Based” activitiesiii. “Multiple Intelligence” lesson plans. iv. Cooperative Learning activities. v. “Thinking Routines” from HGSE. vi. Speaking frames using PPT
There are 5 kinds of Entry Points: -The Aesthetic. -The Narrative. -The Logical/Quantitative. -The Foundational. -The Experiential.Gardner, H. (1991), The Unschooled Mind, New York: Basic Books.
The entry point throughwhich learners respond to formal and sensory qualities of a subject or a work of art.http://brooklynartproject.ning.com/
Examples: *Use photos from artistic images to stimulate interest. *Show a famous painting or picture which is connected by theme to your topic.Theme: My family
Is your dad like this?
Use all kinds of picturesWhat do you see, think, wonder?
The entry point through which learners respond to the narrative (story) elements of a subject or work of art.Theme: My house
Remember your audience!(Especially if you have 5th-10th graders?)Theme: Mixed schools vs. boys or girls only?
The entry point through which learners respondto aspects of a subject, or work of art that invite deductive reasoning ornumerical consideration.
10,000 100,000 1 million 2 million 5 million 8 million Theme: Korea 2002 World 10 millionCup
1. They are using sign language . 2. The girl is probably deaf. 3. The woman is a teacher/helper.Theme: Deaf children
The entry point through which learners respondto the broader concepts,or philosophical issues, raised by a subject or artwork.
Why is it so? Why do we need English?Why do you love your family? Why do you study so hard? Why do you play soccer? Why is Korea so busy? Why do people drive like that?
The entry point throughwhich learners respond to a subject or work art by actually doing something with their hands or bodies.
*Play different trust games *Pretend to be blind (for unit on physically challenged kids)Theme: Friendship --- Caring/service

1 –Do I use entry points to lessons?2- Do I use “brain based” cognivities?3- Are the MI’s of students factored?4- Do I use cooperative learning?5- Do I use thinking routines?6- Do I use speaking frames?
(9) Supplemental ‘keys’I use the 1 + 1 approach to add stuff!
Use Graded Readers!Graded Readers are “books prepared so that they stay within strictly limited vocabulary.” (Nation, 2001)
