Pointillism Art is the practice of applying small dots of colour to a surface so that from a distance they visually blend together to make a picture. The technique is associated with Georges Seurat, and his student, Paul Signac, who both founded Neo-Impressionism. Fun activity to try with junior grades.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Visualizing is…
● A reading strategy
● A way to help you understand what you
read
● An important tool for reading fiction and
nonfiction
● Making a picture in your mind
3. How do you visualize?
● You use the words in
the text to make a
picture in your mind
● It’s like seeing a
“movie in your mind”
● Visualize this:
A green tractor
4. Your mental image
● How was your mental
image different from the
one on the screen?
● We use our background
knowledge to help us
visualize what is in the
text
● Different people bring
different background
knowledge, and so they
visualize differently
5. Try this:
The purple flowers bloomed, lifting their
petals up to the sun. They were surrounded
by the bright green lily pads that covered
the surface of the pond.
Can you picture this scene in your mind?
6. Did your mental image look
like this?
The purple flowers
bloomed, lifting their
petals up to the sun.
They were surrounded
by the bright green lily
pads that covered the
surface of the pond.
7. More practice!
● Make this picture in your mind:
A grassy path led into a garden of tall grasses,
black-eyed susans, and purple coneflowers .
8. Was your mental image like
this?
A grassy path led into a
garden of tall grasses,
black-eyed susans, and
purple coneflowers .
If your mental image was
different, why? What did
you add or change? How
did your background
knowledge affect your
mental image?
9. Now try this!
● The sleek, modern museum rose at the end
of the parking lot. A tower that looked just
like an airport control tower glistened in the
center. To the right curved a silver, round
building. A tree was to the left.
10. How did you do?
●Which details were probably
most important?
●Which were the easiest to
visualize? Which were the
hardest?
11. The right picture?
● Because each person has unique
background knowledge, everyone will
visualize differently
● However, you need to make sure that you
are using the text clues to visualize
12. For example…
● This picture would not
match the details of
the paragraph at all!
● The sleek, modern museum
rose at the end of the parking
lot. A tower that looked just
like an airport control tower
glistened in the center. To the
right curved a silver, round
building. A tree rose to the left.
13. This is neat, but why?
● Why visualize?
● Here are three reasons:
● Visualizing helps us to process text more
actively. Because we have to use our prior
knowledge to visualize, we are reading more
carefully
● Visualizing can help you to figure out what is
going on in the story
● Visualizing is fun!
14. Using prior knowledge to
visualize
● Visualizing is making a picture in your
mind based on the text. But authors
don’t explain every single detail.
Sometimes, you need to fill in with
your background knowledge.
15. What do you have to fill in with
your background knowledge?
Far in the distance, a group of ponies huddled
in the surf, flicking away the biting insects
with the swishing of their tails. Excited
visitors watched them from the further up
the beach, taking pictures and chatting.
Try visualizing the scene below:
16. Here it is!
● Did you picture sand?
Even though it wasn’t
mentioned in the text,
your prior knowledge of
the beach helped you to
make an accurate mental
picture.
● If you’ve been to
Assateague, you were
probably able to picture
the ponies. If you haven’t,
your mental picture was
probably different.
17. Pay attention to an author’s clues!
● Sometimes what we read will not match our
prior knowledge. Read this:
The fences and fields of Shelburne Farms
stretched down the gentle slope toward the
barn.
18. But…
● The fences and fields of Shelburne Farms
stretched down the gentle slope toward the
barn.
● But this was not a regular barn. Instead, it
looked more like a palace. One round turret
towered over the side wall.
19. Here is the clue!
● The fences and fields of Shelburne Farms
stretched down the gentle slope toward the
barn.
● But this was not a regular barn. Instead, it
looked more like a palace. One round turret
towered over the side wall.
20. What a difference!
● Notice that this barn
does not look like the
barns that you have in
your prior knowledge.
If you kept on thinking
about a regular red
barn, you would miss
out on an important
detail
21. You can visualize whenever
you read
● “What a day for a class trip!” Ricky said.
● “I know. I can’t wait to get back in the boats
and go canoeing some more,” Ana replied.
● “I just wish it weren’t so cold,” Ricky
sighed.
Try sketching what you visualize based on the dialogue below.
22. What are some things that
you drew in your picture?
● Based on your prior knowledge and the
clues in the text, what did you put in your
picture?
● Canoe
● Lake
● Forest
● Students
23. Here’s one idea
● Does this
look like the
scene you
pictured?
● What
elements are
similar?
Different?
24. What have we learned?
● Visualizing is an important reading strategy
● We need to use the author’s clues and our
own prior knowledge to build a mental
image
● Everyone builds unique mental images
● Authors leave clues to let us know when our
prior knowledge will not be a help
