Some changes in teaching the grapeseed curriculum
Time per lesson: 40-60 min- include (REP listen)
(kindergarden: 30-40 min)
- Follow exactly in lesson plan (30 lesson)
When the student finish 10 lessson they will have a
speaking test.
Quick checks in Teacher manual (Early Exposures, Middle
Exposures, End Exposures)
- When using any GrapeSEED teaching tool, consciously
progress through se three stages: (day 1-10)
Stage 1: I Say, You Listen.
The teacher presents the material while the students
listen attentively. The teacher helps the students
understand the material and provides opportunities
to interact with each component before or after it is
presented.
Stage 2: You Say, I Support. (day 11-20)
The teacher asks the students-as a class-to speak the
material (whether it be a Song, Chant, or Story). The
teacher supports their efforts by modeling and
correcting any pronunciation errors.
- mispronounced sounds
Stage 3: You Say, I Listen.
- The teacher listens attentively, ready to model
correct usage if mistakes are made as the students
speak. Students will be familiar and confident with
the content at this stage but will need to continually
practice so that they can use the language naturally,
thinking in English.
