Lesson
2. Write notes to tell your personal anecdote. Include: setting, characters, beginning, development, ending, etc. Draw a picture below. Then, tell your anecdote to your classmates as you show your drawing. You could write on the board all the aspects students have to consider to write their anecdote or have some notes about it. For example, setting, characters, beginning, development, ending, etc. Or ask questions, such as: Where did it happen? What were you doing? Who was there? How did it start? How did it happen? How did it end? After that, ask them to draw a scene of what happened in the space provided. When they tell the anecdote, have students show the drawing as the rest of the class tries to guess what happened. Differentiated Instruction For this activity you can use Grouping strategy to ask students of similar language abilities to work together. This way you can spend more time with students who need more support. 3. Listen to your partner’s anecdote. Give feedback by checking his or her performance. Use the chart below to help you. You could organize pairs so that each student gives feedback to a partner. Have them tell their anecdotes to each other as their partner checks if the speaker used language correctly, used body language and included a beginning, climax, and ending to make it interesting.
