What's So Funny 88-90 & 157
Cathy Sadow and Judy DeFilippo have done it again - a lower-lever
companion volume to their popular Dictations for Discussion
This is a book of dictations, but with Interactive Dictations, students do
much more than take down what they hear. They interact in guided
discussions, reacting, debating, deciding, solving, comparing, critiquing, or just talking together. This is the approach of the authors' earlier book
as well, but in this book the dictations are somewhat easier and shorter,
and the students finish with a writing task.
There are 43 units using the same dictation formats:
Partial Dictation
Paired Dictation
Dictogloss
Prediction
There are seven different topical areas:
Work and Money
Language
Education
Ethics and Values
Food, Health, and the Environment
Sports
Americana
The students listen, interact, and talk about these topics: o buying
used cars o the pros and cons of pocket translators o Washington, DC o proverbs o subway manners o chocolate o bullies o eating insects o yard sales o immigration o fighting pollution o violence in sports o and lots more
What's different? In this book, the key vocabulary is glossed in a box that precedes the gapped dictations, there is more emphasis on interactive work and cooperative learning, and each unit ends with a writing assignment.
A CD is available for listening or for providing two more "dictators" in
the classroom, and the full dictations are available in the back half of the
book. Start your students with Interactive Dictations and then increase the challenge with Dictations for Discussion.
