FEEDBACK / INPUT BASED COMMUNICATIVE TASK

Comment [3]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: What is the format to specify feedback? the answer to the activities? I think you need a sort of chart to help the student to organize his/her metacognitive strategies.

Mackayzine Mackayzine: Something like: How many activities were correct? What needs to be checked? Punctuation? vocabulary? expressions?, etc

Page 9: Chavez feedback

B. Reading comprehension skills “The Happy Prince”

1.- Read the first page,

a.- number all paragraph of the story

b.- Now read the first page and look for those words you do not know,

c.- then find their meaning and

d.- Finally read the page again, do the same with the rest of the pages, until you get used to

the vocabulary.

2.- Work in pairs and discuss the following

a. How many words did you have to look for their meanings?

b. Which are they?

c. Make sentences with them. And share your results with a partner

3.- Now, Keep in mind what the tale is about (that is the topic), Remember that topics

are concepts, no more than 2 or 3 words, and normally it is introduced in the first

paragraph, for example: Love, Happiness, Politics, Health, Countries, Sports, etc.

a. Read the first page and find out what is the story about

b. How did you know?

c. Work with a partner and discuss if he or she thinks the same

Comment [4]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: Remember that to read strategically, the student should't need to look for all the words. His/mind should be able to complete the meaning using other cognitive strategies such as inferring, connecting and associating. I think a visual organizer could help the learners to keep track of the new words they are learning.

Comment [5]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: I like this idea. Just give them a number of words or sentences to guide their work.

Comment [6]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: yes

Page 10: Chavez feedback

3- Remember that every single paragraph has its own main idea, and the rests are

secondary ones

a. Underline with a red pen, every main idea of each paragraph, and write it down in your

notebook specifying number of the page and number of the paragraph

b. Now underline with a green pen, the secondary ideas

Now you are ready to start your reading activity, enjoy yourself!!!

Comment [7]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: Feedback is essential here. The student will probably be asking for help to complete the task. In what ways is he going to confirm or discard his/her hypothesis?

Comment [8]: Mackayzine Mackayzine: this is a good idea but you need to provide more scaffolding for the students to complete this task. It is complex because the student will need a clear idea, specific vocabulary, textual and discursive organization and, of course, creativity.
