Mod 8 Video Discussion
Mod 8
I watched the video about Language Dives. What a wonderful idea! It helped the students to understand the content. Deconstructing, reconstructing, and then acting out the parts of the sentence exposed the students to the information numerous times in a single lesson.
Teaching first grade, deconstructing and reaconstructing sentences would work with simple sentences. The acting out portion of the Language Dive could be modified. I could have my students act out new vocabulary words.
Students always like to act out roles. It is a great idea, I may use it in my class too.
