How will this lesson plan prepare students to be assessed?
This lesson plan will help prepare students for reading, writing, and listening
assessments. The oral presentations will give students an opportunity to demonstrate
their ability to synthesize and use information they have heard.
Procedure:
This lesson is designed to be taught in one class session.
- Distribute the students’ version of the “David Noe” case study
to your class. Divide the students into groups of three or four.
- Read aloud to them or let them read one section of the case study at a time.
Don’t let them read ahead. After each section, ask each group of students
to brainstorm what David should do. Then, use the questions in the teachers’
version of the case study to guide them through a discussion of what David should
do at each point.
- Finish by asking each student to complete the in-class writing exercise.
If you desire, students can spend another class period preparing for and then
presenting their work on the group communication exercise.
Closure/Assessment:
Review students’ written and/or oral work both for basic writing or presentation skills, as well as for students’ ability to explain the steps David took to learn more about his customer and the culture of the customer’s homeland.
Then, in small groups or as a whole group, have students review the steps they should follow when they are confronted with a problem and don’t have enough information to decide what to do. Ask them to share personal experiences of having to conduct research to solve a problem. What did they do? How did they use the information they gathered? What did they do right or wrong? What would they do if they were confronted with the same problem today?
