After that, elicit what they're going to learn today.

  2-1. quiz quiz trade
Students play a game where they guess jobs from clues that contain expressions of obligation (have to). There are five clues for each job. The first clue is quite difficult and the last clue is very easy. The student reads out the first clue on the card to their partner. Their partner listens to the clue and guesses what the job could be. If the guess is incorrect, the student reads the next clue and so on. If their partner correctly guesses the job, he or she gets the number of points indicated next to the clue. The two students then swap roles. Make sure that they should read out loud only one clue at a time.

Differentiated Reading with an instant assessment tool

Image result for self assessment
Agnes Kim

In the classroom, assess the reading level of a student instantly is difficult. It takes long time to go and usually English teachers in Korea teaches more than 100 students. So Here's my simple suggestion how to diagnosis your students in a shot time properly. This lesson plan contains peer assessment too, so the teachers will apply these tools.

Teaching reading text itself (topic : understanding some jobs of my neighborhood)

Actually, we have experienced smart, nice and interesting teaching skills as post-reading activities like snooping-around or jigsaw crossword puzzle. However, there’s little activities for the reading text itself. Moreover, we, Korean English teachers have to teach a text of at least 3 or 4 paragraphs each chapter. What’s the point of learning some new after-reading skills if we still teach a text in an old-fashioned way, I mean, grammar-translated way.  That’s the starting point of my idea. I kept thinking about how to teach a text effectively and interestingly. While thinking about it, I met Nearpod, a complex of wonder-struck helpful tools for teaching. With this smart program, I hope I can make a reading class fun for both me and my students.

In this class, you will see...

- Nearpod as a tool for whole process of teaching reading the text
- Students study a part of the text individually and then explain their own reading parts to their team members so that whole members get the gist of the full text without looking over the all the text (a little bit different from Jigsaw activity).
- Students share their ideas at the end of the class as a chance for teaches to check the students' comprehension of the teaching material and for students to answer some questions from a teacher or post impressive key words or phrases. Teachers can make this step a chance to communicate with their students effectively.
