- I returned the transcripts from last week (Chapter 7). Students revised them as necessary. If they were shorter than 250 words, students added additional content. They then read their revised transcripts aloud and recorded them in QuickTime. They saved the files in Classes/Gigger/Summer/Chapter_7/1215 or 130/YourName. Students were NOT required to retype or print the transcripts, but they did return the original to me.
- Listened to section 3 of the radio program on Gaviotas (Classes/Gigger/Summer/Chapter_8/Listening/Radio_Utopian_Community_Section_3). Answered the questions in Ex. D, p. 251.
- Shadowing: Turned to pp. 310-311. While listening to section 2 of the radio program (Chapter_8/Listening/Radio_Utopian_Community_Section_2), silently read the words. Next, while listening again, read the words aloud. Students did NOT record for this activity.
- Push-Up Drill: Brainstormed for 2 min about these questions: Does Gaviotas sound like paradise to you? Would you like to live there? Why or why not? Focused on clear organization and strong supporting details. Spoke for 1 min 30 sec while recording in QuickTime. Listened to the recording. Added more ideas and details. Spoke for 2 min while recording. Listened to the recording. Added more ideas and details. Spoke for 2 min 30 sec while recording. Students did NOT save their recordings.
