| P: Presentation |
Teacher
helps to build background knowledge of the characters and the
adjectives describing the characters of the Fairy Tale of The Little
Mermaid. The emphasis of the Presentation stage of the PACE model is on
the comprehension of the vocabulary and the meaning. |
| A: Attention |
The authentic text of "The
Little Mermaid" is used to draw the students attention to the
adjectives (bolded words). By having the students read "The
Little Mermaid," it helps the students see the amount of adjectives in
a Fairy Tale and how the adjectives are used in the
language. The purpose of the bolded words is to draw the
students attention to the bolded words and to help the students develop
awareness to the adjectives in the written authentic text of the Little
Mermaid. |
| C: Co-Construction |
Students
practice how to construct adjectives and what adjectives describe in
the sentence. In the grammar exercises, the students begin to
grasp the idea of the placement of adjectives and the words
the adjectives are describing. Also, the process of the text box
helps the students to think about the different adjectives in the story
The Little Mermaid and the song Under the Sea. The students will
have to write their responses to the questions on a separate sheet of
paper. It helps the students to pay attention to the form of the
adjective and understand why the author or speaker uses adjectives in
written and oral expression. |
| E: Extension |
There
are two activities that are for the student to pay attention to the
form and the meaning of the adjectives. The students will need to
write down the answers on the same paper from the co-construction.
The students will receive feedback from the drop down boxes and
the hidden mouseover features. |
