PREPARATORY ACTIVITY: BUILD A STORY (also known as

“Finish the Story”)

PLAYERS: 4 or 5 students

INSTRUCTION: The aim of the game is to create a complete story as a team.

Our group will choose 4 or 5 willing students to participate in the activity.
Then our group will commence by giving one sentence as a starter. Student
one will continue the story by saying the next sentence. Student three will
carry on and so on until they come up with a story that may or may not make
sense.

Components of remedial
1. The orientation component.
The orientation component provides continuity and focus to the remedial
session. It may be an engaging question or statement related to local or national
news, or even school life. It must focus on structured routines, materials,
equipment, venue, people involved, and the objective of the program.
2. Direct Instruction Component.
This is the instructional heart of the remedial session. It should never be traded
away, even for one period, without some compelling reason.
3. Reinforcement and Extension Component.
This period of time ideally should build on the direct instructional period and be
spent in empowered reading, writing, and discussion of what was read. Writing
activities may vary from simply listing key words to summarizing and reacting.
4. Schema-Enhancement Component.
This unit of time should be spent in building a knowledge base for further
reading and independent thinking. It is an ideal time to teach study skills such
as outlining, note taking, and memory training. Ideally, it should flow or
precede Component 3.
5. Personal-Emotional Growth Development.
There is little learning or consequence that can occur without the learner
involvement and anticipation of personal progress.
6. Cognitive Development Component.
This component should contain an attempt to enhance basic thinking operation
such as: inference, abstract verbal reasoning, analogical reasoning, constructive-
critical/ creative reading, convergent and divergent analysis, problem-solving,
and metacognition.
