Phases
Classroom interaction procedure
Phase I
Orientation phase
Teacher establishes rapport with the students and checks the previous knowledge of the students.
Tr gives a set of sentences and asks the students to identify the auxiliary verbs and modal auxiliaries.

The students identify the auxiliaries and modals from the given sentences.
Ans: is, has, did, can, must, need, dare etc.

Tr: Very good. You have identified the auxiliaries and modals. These verbs are also called helping verbs or special finites. They are 24 in number.

Go through the list of all auxiliaries and modals..
Auxiliaries/auxiliary verbs
(forms of ‘be’, ‘have’, ‘do’)
Modal verbs/modal auxiliaries/modals
(express meanings such as permission, possibility, certainty and necessity)
Am, is are
Was, were
Has, have, had
Does, do, did

Can ,could ,will, would
Shall, should, may, might

Phase II
Presentation phase
Tr: very good. So today I will familiarize you with question tags. We all use it in our daily communication. But you may not be aware of when and where to use it. So we will study question tags today.

I will tell you the rules for using question tags. Knowing the rules will help you to use question tags more appropriately.


Tr: Let’s have a look at the definition of question tag.
     A question added at the end of a sentence to draw or attract attention to it or give emphasis to it is called a question tag.
Eg: You are smart, aren’t you?
       He can come, can’t he?
A few points have to be noted before using a question tag.
Rule I
A positive statement takes a negative tag and a negative statement takes a positive tag. The full stop in the given sentences must be changed to comma before adding the question tag. The tag begins with a small letter and there is a question mark at the end of the tag. And only pronouns are used as subject of question tags.

Consider these sentences..
Latha was writing.
They will come.
I don’t know the place.
Tr: How can we write the question tags of these sentences?

Firstly find out the helping verb of the statements. If the verb is positive, use its negative form in the question tag and vice versa.
Thus we get…
Latha was writing, wasn’t she?
They will come, won’t they?
I don’t know the place, do I?

Rule II
In some cases , the helping verbs are not seen, so in such cases, ‘do’, ‘does’, or ‘did’ are used as helping verbs depending on the tense of the verb.

‘do’ is used in simple present tense with the subject I, we, you, they or any other plural form.
‘does’ is used in simple present tense  with the subject he, she, it or any other singular form.
‘did’ is used in simple past tense with any subject.
Eg: Arjun works hard, doesn’t he?
      Ram went to Chicago, didn’t he?
      I never write like that, do I?

Rule III
Tr: some words like ‘little’, ‘few’, ‘hardly’, ‘scarcely’, ‘seldom’, ‘never’, ‘rarely’ are treated as negatives and they take positive tags. Words like ‘a few’ and ‘a little’ are treated as positives and they take negative tags.
Eg: Few people attended the meeting, do they?
      A little progress had been made, hadn’t it?
Rule IV
Tr: Imperative sentences (request, order, command etc) take the same tag, ‘will you?’ Sometimes, ‘won’t you?’ to denote urgency.
Eg: Don’t be late, will you?
      Work hard, won’t you?
Rule V
Tr: Sentences beginning with ‘Let us’ take the tag ‘shall we?’
Rule VI
Everyone and everybody are singular. Yet in question tag, both of these words take the pronoun ‘they’. Hence the auxiliary ‘do’ is used instead of ‘does’ and other plural verbs.
Eg: Everyone visits the Tajmahal, don’t they?
Everybody has come, haven’t they?

Tr: Let’s go through the list of auxiliaries and their negative forms.

Tr: The subject of the question tag depends on the subject of the statement. Only pronouns are used in tags as subject.
Let’s go through another list which contains the subject of the statement and the subject of the question tag.

Tr: hope you understood the concept now. Teacher revises the rules and students listen to it.
Phase III
Structured Practice
Teacher shows a slide in which a few sentences are written. Groups are made among students. The students add question tags to each sentence and write the rules against each sentence. The teacher moves around the class and clears doubts. After the allotted time, the members of each group present the answers. Teacher makes corrections if necessary.
1.      I am coming.
2.      They are not walking.
3.      She has arrived.
4.      They have not eaten the breakfast.
5.      Little progress has been made.
6.      Everybody closed the door.
7.      Chithra sang well.
8.      He seldom comes here
9.      One should keep one’s promises.
10.  Go fast.
11.  Let’s take a break.
12.  Some of you can go there.
13.  Tom has never told lies.
14.  I am not ill.
15.  I should visit the place.
Phase IV
Guided practice








Phase V
Independent Practice

Tr gives a few more questions. Each student work on their own. Students clear doubts. Tr gives feedback and reinforcement.
1.      one cannot be too careful
2.      sit in this chair
3.      Let’s have some tea.
4.      Open the door.
5.      Don’t repeat this here after.
6.      We must not be late.
7.      Some us can go and search.
8.      They need not come with us

Teacher asks the learners to construct their own sentences and add question tags to it at home. The learners can continue the task till they attain the mastery level.



2. TEACHING MANUAL ON ADVANCE ORGANIZER MODEL 


TEACHING MANUAL ON
ADVANCE ORGANIZER MODEL
Name of the Teacher : E K JIJAN                                                                           Std.    :    VIII
Name of the School   : Mount Tabor G H S S, Pathanapuram                                Date   :    24/02/2014    
Name of the Subject  : English                                                                                Time  :    45 mts.           
  Focus:           The Learner,
Ø  develops an understanding about different types of nouns and their usage.
Ø 
      Mount Tabor
    ekjijan@gmail.com
distinguishes countable and uncountable nouns.
Ø  uses them in their speech and writing.
Concept:          Countable nouns and Uncountable nouns.
Content Analysis:      Noun is a word used to name people, animals, objects, places and state of  being. Countable and uncountable nouns are two divisions of nouns. Countable nouns are countable with a number and preceded by ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’. They have singular and plural forms. An uncountable noun cannot be counted with a number and cannot use ‘a’ or ‘an’ with uncountable noun. They have only one form.
Pre-requisites:            The learners know some general ideas about the parts of speech especially the nouns which are used in everyday situations.
Syntax
Phases of the Model / Learning Experience
 Learning Outcome
Informal Talk/ Entry Activity
    Phase I  -    Presentation of the Advance Organiser
The teacher, through questions and discussions clarifies the aim of the lesson.
    Tr: Today we are going to learn countable and uncountable nouns
Teacher asks a few questions checking the previous knowledge of students about nouns and its kinds.
   Tr: What is a noun?

          nouns, abstract nouns....
   Tr: Can you say some examples of nouns?
    Lrs: Pathanapuram, Kollam, India, pencil, paper, Ramu....
Teacher sums up the points by writing the definition of nouns and examples on the chart..
        
Noun is a word used to name people, animals, objects,
                                             places and state of  being.

Promoting active reception learning by asking the students how the learning material supports the concepts in the subsumer.
Students describe how to new learning material supports the concept in the subunit.
Verbalises the attributes of the learning matter.


Promoting active thinking
skills



Verbalises the essence of the learning material.


Asks     to generate additional examples of the concept.


Applies the new information in situations..


Social System :   Highly structured. However requires active collaboration between teacher and learner.
Principles of Reaction :  1.  Negotiation of meaning 2. Responsively connecting organiser and material.
Support System :   Well-organised material is the critical support requirement of this model. The effectiveness of the advance organizer depends on an integral and appropriate relationship between the conceptual organizer and the content. This model provides guidelines for building or reorganising instructional material.
Instructional and Nurturant Effects :  The advance organizer model is especially useful to structure extended curriculum sequences or courses and to instruct students systematically in the key ideas of a field. The model can also be shaped to teach the skills of effective reception learning. Critical thinking and cognitive reorganisation can be explained to the learners. The model increases effectiveness in reading and watching films, and in other "reception" activities.
