Discussion Thread: Comparing Communities Lesson
This lesson was used in a previous PACE assignment, so although it is not labeled as such, it contains all the elements of the PACE model. After viewing the French: Comparing Communities video, think about it in terms of what you learned in the video and the PACE lessons, and use the following questions to guide your thinking:
What strategies does Ms. Tulou use to move students toward the goal of “expanding” language?
In what ways does Ms. Tulou make the grammar topic (conditional tense) meaningful for students?
How does she address different learning styles when teaching grammar? (Keep this in mind as you prepare your PACE lesson)
What observations can you make about students’ awareness of their own learning? How does Ms. Tulou’s approach to instruction contribute to this awareness?
Mention any use of the five Cs and/ or steps of the PACE model as portrayed in this video that you’ve identified.
Ask any questions or share any ideas you have about your PACE lesson plan. Share any ideas you might have of how to share the gospel in your lesson.
