Module 7 - How Do I Love Thee Assignment

Teaching topic:  Chinese Language Teaching.

Model of teaching topic: The students will

          Review to ask question: Ji dian le? (What time is it?) Answer: 6 dian (le) (It’s 6 o’clock)

          Review numbers: from 0 to 60

Explanation:

         The goal is to “‘Play’ with my teaching content topic and recreate it in a form that is not only fun, but more engaging and meaningful for the students.”

        This action game of heel-to-toe step is used when a police officer has a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) suspect walk a line. Because play is simply for the fun of it, for the enjoyment of doing it (Sparks of Genius, p.247). I hope my students who are 2nd graders will have fun with it, and of course learn from it too.

Action Game Heel – to – Toe Step:

        1. Use tape to create a starting and a finishing line.

        2. Have every student get a partner, then have all the partner “A”s line up at the starting line. Have partner “B”s stand next to their partner.

        3. Give “A”s 5 questions about the different times (please have a look at the TIME part). “B”s need to answer the 5 questions after “A”s said Ji Dian Le? (What time is it?)

        4. If a partner B answers correctly, he/she will take two heel-to-toe steps towards the finish line. If the answer is incorrect, he/she has to take one heel-to-toe step backwards.

        5. Each pair answers 5 questions. and the pair goes the furthest on the line wins.
