Comments? feedback@dataworks-ed.com Kindergarten Speaking Applications 2.1 Describe people, places, things (e.g. size, color, shape), locations, and actions. Lesson to be used by EDI-trained teachers only. Listening and Speaking Please read all directions before using the following lesson. 1. Some listening and speaking lessons do not have a handout or worksheet for students because students are being taught how to listen for specific sounds or words and/or respond to questions orally. 2. Unlike most EDI lessons, these listening and speaking lessons do not have Independent Practice and Periodic Review for the students to perform individually. The repetition included in this lesson must be guided throughout, therefore we have titled the pages Guided Practice 1, Guided Practice 2… 3. Students may be shown the Learning Objective, Activating Prior Knowledge, Concept Development, and Importance pages. They may also be shown the Concept Definition and the steps listed at the top of the Skill Development/Guided Practice pages. Students may be given the opportunity to track along with the teacher when he or she reads the passages. Please see individual lessons for further instructions for teachers. 4. The teacher must exercise discretion in determining whether a lesson may be used in a group setting or one-on-one time. If the lesson is to be used in a group setting, see directions below. For Skill Development/Guided Practice: a. Read the problem or say the names of the pictures aloud. b. Ask students to pair-share the answer with a partner. c. Call on 4-5 non-volunteers to give their answer. d. If students answer incorrectly, or do not have a response, teacher should de-escalate the question by giving the student two choices. e. After several non-volunteers produce a correct answer, the teacher can call on volunteers as well. For Guided Practice 1-4: a. Read the problem or say the names of the pictures aloud. b. Ask students to come up with an answer on their own. c. Call on 4-5 non-volunteers to give their answer. d. If students answer incorrectly, or do not have a response, teacher should de-escalate the question by giving the student two choices. e.
