Post-Listening Activity
Post-Listening Activity
Assign each small group (same groups as before) a section of the printed text (Appendix G)–by circling a passage on the printed text and handing it to each group.
Each group discusses the section and comes up with one question about that section for the classroom; a member of the group writes the question down.
When all groups are finished, a representative for each group reads their question out loud.
Students in the classroom will raise their hands to reply, and you will facilitate the process & help with answers as needed.
These questions are in Lesson Plan Google DOC as well
