Today is all about family stories-- I have handouts to guide you that I found from a great literacy support website (so please excuse the headings on the worksheets). I have attached them to this email and will have hard copies available to you tonight.
Time with Parents:
You can warm up with talking about movies and books and then move into discussions about describing people (i.e. family members) and even types of clothing. Then you can move to Sed de Saber and review descriptions (book 1) and/or work through book 5 (especially talking about weekend plans and celebrating holidays). You can begin working on Autobiographies of the parents if there is still time
Time with Parents and Children:
We are still going to read together and then work on the La Familia albums (they will be handed out tonight). The first few pages will include autobiographies of each member (we will take pictures of them individually and as a family to put in the albums). The family tree will also be added and we will begin working on an illustrated family story (which will be completed for homework)
You are welcome to adjust this lesson plan to best fit the needs of the family you are working with.
I appreciate all of you hard work and patience as we continue to make this program better.... I found a great free online course for you (if you have time) that deal with adult literacy. Check out http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/Thinkfinity-Literacy-Network-H.10.0.html then scroll down on the right you will see free online courses then select "principles of adult learning" and set up a free account.
I would love to know what you think of this and if it should be added as a part of orientation next time around.
If you have any questions/concerns, please let me know. Also, feedback will be digital from now on (we have way too many papers). Make notes of your evening and I will send out a form tomorrow. In the future, perhaps we can make a survey sheet that is more user friendly and you can just log in and comment... what do you all think?
Best,
Heather
