DIFFERENTIATION IN ACTION

● Use a variety of visuals to defne Chinese characters for time, daily routine and transportation. ● Use a graphic organizer to differentiate the Chinese characters, phrases, & images for students to make associations between objects & characters for the timeline of a day and transportation. ● Use Total Physical Response to review Chinese characters and calendar vocabulary. ● Group students to allow opportunity for them to practice Chinese. ● Before assigning students a conversation, model the conversation, and provide sentence frames or sentence starters (eg. When do you go to school in the morning? 你每天早上几点去上学？ I go to school at …in the morning. 我每天早上 ... 去上学。 When do you go home after school? 你每天下午几点放学回家？ I go home at…in the afternoon. 我每天下午 .. 点放学回家。 ) ● Use gestures and oral repetition of key phrases and words in multiple contexts. ● Ask and answer simple questions about class schedule ● Ask and answer simple questions about time (time of the day eg: morning 早上， noon 中午， afternoon 下午， night 晚上 ) ● Ask and answer simple questions involving days of the week ● Interpret class schedule ● Identify the common transportations ( 汽 车 ，火 车 ，船，自行 车 ，公共汽 车 ， 飞 机，走路 ) ● Ask and answer simple questions about daily transportation to school or travel ● Make a weekend plan together as a group including time, daily routine, and transportation. ● Engage the student in more student-teacher conversation in Chinese aside from regularly planned activities or group the student with other advanced learners who are ready for more challenging dialog. ● Have students ask questions and/or give TPR commands for the class. ● Students ask questions about the topics covered in a lesson. ● Have students provide extended responses/more details. ● Have students recognize and read the characters without Pinyin. ● Have students read simple notes of introduction or information on a form relating to name, age and grade in school. ● Have students make posters about their daily schedule, also encourage them to include after school activities and present to the whole group. ● Write and present a simple 3 day travel plan together as a group including time, daily routine, and transportation.
