General correction procedure

Students can make errors in different parts of the action exercises. They may say the whole statement when they are just supposed to say what they are doing. They may not follow teacher instructions correctly.

All errors are not written out on the teacher presentation book, but all errors can be corrected with the general correction procedure.

The process is:

Model
My turn, listen, what are you doing? Touching my head.

Lead
Say it with me, what are you doing? Touching my head.

Test
Your turn, what are you doing?

Retest
Let’s try that again.

In the next slide you will see a demonstration of error correction for LFL lesson 25, exercise 1. The video will show how to correct an error when students say the whole thing at step 2b instead of just saying what they are doing.
Turn to page 32 in LFL Teacher’s Guide and follow along with the teacher as she teaches exercise 1, 2 and 3.
See if you can answer these questions. (Answers will be shown after the video)

• What kind of signal is the teacher using?
• Why did the teacher do a correction at step 2b?
• What did the teacher do as soon as students made a mistake?
