So, in this new different way to do R & D, in simple terms, I just go nuts with two or three verbs from the novel, using TPR and RT and PSA to a ridiculous degree to build an entire class around just those verbs and three CI strategies that most of us know about already. That’s the basic idea.
It is very much like how my very successful change to doing just pure and focused PQA/PSA on two or three target structures on Mondays for an entire class period and not starting the story until Tuesday works.
Both my Monday PSA program to set up the story and my new approach to R & D are all very importantly connected to sGI and the simple yet genius recent blockbuster idea presented by Sabrina that our kids don’t get enough reps in the CI that we have been doing up until now (May, 2013) and so we must change to offer a much more compact and therefore impactful version of CI in our stories and novel reading if we are to get the results we want with novels.
