This assignment also consists of preparing a teaching demonstration of an activity from your lesson plans which could be used during the warm-up/review, presentation, practice or evaluation stage of a lesson. The activities should come from New Ways in Teaching Writing and New Ways in Teaching Reading. The purpose of the teaching demonstrations is to allow each of you to share successful classroom activities with each other.

The basic criteria for the teaching demonstrations are as follows:

• One class period priorto your teaching demonstration, submit your lesson plan to the instructor. Indicate on the lesson plan the portion you plan to present for the teaching demonstration.
• The maximum teaching time allowed for each demonstration will be twelve minutes. (you lose points for going overtime. The teacher will give you a "one minute" warning, but will not interrupt or stop you if you go overtime. The minimum time is eight minutes.
• There will be a brief post-demonstration discussion at the end of each class session.
• By 5:00 p.m. the day following the teaching demonstration, you are expected to submit a written response/self-evaluation of your demonstration (both good and bad points are to be discussed). This allows you to identify any problems in your demonstration. Teaching "mistakes" that you notice and propose a good correction for can actually help you in this self-evaluation.

See the separate Lesson Plan Evaluation Criteria form used for grading. You can access the form from the class web page.

Copies of possible texts to use for review can be checked out from the instructor.

It is recommended that you check recent text reviews published in the TESOL Quarterly, TESOL Journal, TESL Reporter, Modern Language Journal, or TESL-EJ to see what a good review consists of.
