I've decided I'm going to copy my communication lessons here. I'm saving them on my HD, of course, and my external HD, but you never know... (And maybe someone else might find them useful.)
I told you earlier about the communication lessons I'm doing in the classrooms. One part of this is that I have to have a lot of samples prepped. Not only do I need them to keep the lesson moving quickly, I give the teachers a copy. They can copy and cut the lines apart for seatwork and/or reinforce the lessons with another session like I did and/or they'll have the information next year if I'm assigned to a different school.
Usually, I have speech picture-decks and/or sample pages in various speech books to give me a boost on the ideas. I like to have 100 - 115 samples (depending on when I get to the end of a printed page), and I need all the help I can get.
But next week I've scheduled a lesson in "Odd One Out", and the picture-deck had only 25 pictures that would translate to verbal use. With a picture, students can choose between "desk phone, cell phone, cordless phone, pot". With words, not so much. <g>
So, I've spent the last few hours, and finally managed to come up with 84 samples, yay! That's probably enough. Of course, I'd like to have more, but my brain is wrung dry. Good enough; maybe some of the teachers will come up with a few ideas to add to the list.
If you're interested in seeing my brilliance -- *starwatcher snorts softly to herself* -- check under the cut.
