Topic/Skill: Debate/ Listening
Teacher Presentation: Students in the group 4A listening class spent the
period preparing for a debate. Ms. James first split the class into groups that
would support of oppose a stance on a current issue. After splitting the groups,
she reviewed the types of questions the students should have in mind when
building their arguments.
Classroom Management:
After splitting the groups, Ms. James had them relocate to a different
room to collaborate and build their arguments. She circulated from room to
room, checking in on their progress and giving advice when needed.
Materials: Students
used the computers available in their designated classrooms to find videos that
helped to support their debate arguments.
Student Participation: Students
collaborated within their groups to develop their debate ideas. Each group was
required to present a video clip in support of their stance. everyone worked
collaboratively, discussing the videos they found and deciding if
they were effective for use in their presentations.
Feedback Provided: Ms. James
checked in on each group during their class time, providing advice and help when
needed. She watched their videos and advised group members on how to find
strong supporting evidence.
Lesson(s) on teaching
you learned: Using debate in a listening class was a creative way to keep the class
dynamic and engaging. Using video to prove their arguments maintained the focus
on development of listening skills. To debate effectively, students will also
have to listen closely to the arguments of their opponents. Observing this
class gave me insight into methods for making a listening class more
communicative and interactive.
