Sample conversation lesson using Smartpen
In the sample lesson below I worked with a 15 year old Israeli student who studies English in school.
Sample Lesson Language Objective : To give clear and accurate spoken instructions in order to enable a partner to recreate a drawing
1. I tore out a page from my smart pen notebook and tore the page in half.
2. I gave Roee half of the paper and invited him to draw anything he wanted without showing it to me.
3. When Roee was ready, I clicked the record button on the smart paper and he proceeded to describe his drawing to me. We were sitting back to back so I could not see Roee’s drawing.
4. I asked Roee questions and his answers guided me in the recreation of the drawing.
5. We then compared the drawings and Roee analyzed the differences in the two.
6. This activity could have been done using a regular pen and paper, however, having the opportunity to watch the pencast and analyze the language that was ellicted during the activity added value to the lesson.
I hope you enjoyed this sample lesson. I am currently developing more content and ideas for teaching with the pen.
