Class opening 

For ideas and tips on beginning a class , see “Teaching Techniques’’ at the back of this teacher’s guide .

Step 1: Come to “think about it”.

Step 2: Check to see if the students have previewed the reading as required . Ask if they have any questions concerning the text . Encourage other students to try to answer the questions . Select one or two words from the vocabulary list and ask if anyone has figured out the meaning . If a student replies correctly , ask him or her to share the strategies used to puzzle out the meanings . Remember to give lots of praise for a good try , even if it’s wrong.

Step 3:Play the audiotape . Have the class follow the audiotape while looking at the text.

Step 4: Divide the class into groups of three. Ask each group member to take one of the three roles (Jenny , Danny , or Brian  and out the dialogue. )

Step 5: Come to “Project 1”

  Introduce and begin unit project 1. This project can cover six lessons . Students will be working in groups of six to prepare and present this role-play project about how to respond to an accident . The “Teaching Techniques ”section at the back of this teacher’s guide provides suggestions for introducing a new project. The following is a step-by-step method of helping students learn and practice this information .
