| Strip Stories
Introduce the first strip story problem. - Cut out and distribute
Strip Story (RTF 609KB)
to pairs of students.
- Pairs of students order the cards to solve the problem. If a native speaker is partnered with an ESOL student, talk with the native speaker about his/her role in checking for understanding and modelling appropriate language use. Students must place the appropriate 'comment' card alongside each step.
Move on to Problem 2 and 3. Students fill in the cards of any missing working and solve the problems. Problem 2 has some missing information on the cards. Problem 3 has all scaffolding removed. The teacher moves around the groups listening to the talk joining the discussion where language or conceptual support is needed.
-
- Set further composite area problems for practice.
