WH Posters

Posted on 14:11 by Unknown
Just wanted to share with you all a little project I worked on today!  My new Take Off Tasks require my students to generate questions in order to elicit a particular answer (the one on the slip of paper).  So for instance the slip of paper might say "to the store", so I want them to think of a question that would elicit that response (i.e. Where did you go last night?).  I didn't realize how difficult this task would be for them!!!! Even when given lots of examples, it proved to be very difficult for many.

I was meeting with another SLP in my district yesterday and saw that she had some simple WH Posters in her room that she uses with her kids to work on formulating questions or answering WH questions.  I decided my room definitely needed a visual aid like that as well! She let me use her PogoBoards program to create all the pictures and then I just glued them to some fun-colored paper and laminated them! Easy peasy!

Take-Off Tasks

Posted on 15:25 by Unknown
As you all know, 30-minute sessions go by extremely fast!  It is really hard to fit in all the teaching and practice in that short amount of time.  In an effort to get an extra few minutes of practice, I created Take-Off Tasks last year.  

As each student walks out the door at the end of the session, they have the option to take a task out of the basket.  The tasks change through out the year.  Right now my tasks are targeting multiple meaning words.


  
Grab Synonyms Take-Off Tasks Here (3 pgs)

Grab Antonyms Take-Off Tasks Here (3 pgs)

The students then can discuss the tasks (quietly!) with their group members on the walk back to their classrooms.  If they bring it back to speech completed correctly, they get an extra carnival ticket which is entered into a drawing (all part of my behavior management system-will do a post about that sometime!). 

The kids all LOVE picking out a Take-Off Task when they leave and I can hear/see them discussing the possible answers with the other kids!  I was surprised that about 98% of my students actually do the Take-Off Tasks even though they are optional.  

Additional ideas for tasks:

  • Antonyms
  • Synonyms
  • Asking Questions (provide the student with an ANSWER to a question and have them think of a question that would get that response)
  • Rhyming
  • Analogies
  • Verb tense
  • Definitions
  • Cohesive Ties


Happy Tuesday! :-)
