Week 4: Skill-Building Websites and Technology Enhanced Lesson Plan

This is my reflection in this week.

1.       I try to make a lesson plan for my Teaching Learning Process. The overall lesson plan is almost similar to the lesson plan I usually use, but there is something I have to add. That is the use of online materials for enrichment and that I have to relate it to National Education Technology Standards for Students (NETS•S). The teaching learning itself is conducted in classroom mediated with some computers. I also try to revise the way I set the objectives to ABCD model suggested by Robert.

2.        I read Krajka’s article on using the Internet in ESL Writing Instruction.

I find that there are many activities we can make using Internet:

a.       Making a Letter to a Friend using www.marlo.com/card.htm

b.      Making a Formal Letter

c.       Making Biography with some samples form http://www.imdb.com/, http://www.bham.wednet.edu/bio/biomaker.htm or http://www.gms.ocps.k12.fl.us/biopage/bio.html

d.      Making a description of a Person using “Wanted” game.

e.      Making an argumentative Essay on some topics from http://www.ohiou.edu/esl/project/index.html

f.        Making Notices and Advertisement by using some online newspapers.

g.       Making description on a Festival of ceremony

h.      Making description of a book, film or play.

i.         Making a Newspaper report

j.        Making a personal opinion essay

k.       Describing Places

3.       Liang’s article is also very useful for employing internet in classroom activities. The activities that can be conducted are:

a.       Choosing Books

b.      Reading and Sharing Books

c.       Evaluating Books

There are also procedures that  can guide us in conducting those activities..
