I posted this about a week ago and didn’t get a lot of suggestions so am reposting. I would really like that Flow Chart to be complete and so I need more input from the group. James your suggestion is great but couldn’t I just put those things in the third column?
Here is the post if you missed it:
Over the years we have invented lots of strategies. I was thinking that each one must fall into at least one of the all-encompassing Three Steps of TPRS. That is, there’s a warm-up (Step 1) and a workout (Step 2) and a cool down (Step 3).
I therefore tried to organize the strategies in a flow chart. It seems to me that we on any given day should be able to do any one of the warm up Step 1 activities and then draw a line from it to any one of the work out Step 2 activities and then another line to any one of the cool down Step 3 activities. It’s kind of a cheap ass generic lesson plan format. Less work.
With this, we could plan lessons on the fly. Don’t know what you are doing tomorrow? Look at this chart – whatever you are doing, draw a line to one of the activities in the next column and do it. No thinking involved.
My question for the group is does it make sense or is it just the peculiar way I think? And did I leave anything out? I’m thinking this could be a nice little reference sheet for the teachers in this group who are really lazy.
Feedback invited.
