Nina Balingit, a college student from De La Salle University Manila, asked for feedback on her storytelling lesson plan that follows the Total Physical Response Storytelling (TPRS). Here's what I told her.
My thoughts on your lesson plan:
1. The lesson plan follows a methodology anchored on principles of language learning and acquisition.
2. The lesson plan shows an awareness of its context, students who are in the K-3 levels. There is provision for schema development.
3. Questions are well thought out. I found many of the questions repetitive and literal but these have merits for mastery and disciplined thinking. Can you still give room for questions that infer and predict?
4. Review, if you still have the time, the language used. Some Filipino words are not in the colloquial language. Too formal. Simplify and appropriate as necessary.
5. In assessing the listening experience, is it possible to give students time to talk about their drawings and output? Consider giving activities that will allow students to retell the story in their own words.
It’s a good lesson plan, over all, but I would have wanted to see an equal distribution of reading and writing activities.
Good luck and thanks!
