• Play the introductory sequence.  Encourage the students to respond when the video teacher asks a question or greets the audience.  Listen for the “ting” sound and watch for the student response symbol to know when students should respond.  Please see the script for appropriate student responses. 
• When the video teacher begins to draw today’s key vocabulary, instruct the students to hold up the corresponding Language Leaper Card as each phrase or word is mentioned.  

• Pass 1:  Play the Teaching Context.  Instruct the students to just observe and listen carefully during the first pass.  At the end of the first pass ask students to share initial observations. 
• Pass 2:  Play the Teaching Context again.  Instruct the students to hold up the corresponding Language Leaper Card as they hear it mentioned within the story. 
• Pass 3:  Play the Teaching Context again.  Assign different groups of students a different “popcorn” word or phrase to listen for in the story. As they hear the specific phrase or word mentioned the students should stand up.

Play:  Role-Playing

Phase 1:

• Group students into pairs.  Assign students one of the characters to role-play. 
• Play Activity 2-1and instruct the students to follow along with the video and act out their character’s part with their partner.
• Play Activity 2-1again and allow students to switch characters (roles). 

Play Activity 2-1 multiple passes alternating roles and different partners

• with the students.  Continue process as many times as deemed appropriate.
• Circulate throughout the classroom and observe for accuracy as students do the role-play.   

Phase 2: 

• Remove visual support of the video and play only the audio for Activity 1.  Instruct students to act out the role-play with their partners.  Circulate throughout the room and observe student interaction.

Phase 3 (if appropriate): 

• Assign students the roles of partner A. and Partner B. and allow them to act out the dialogue of the activity without aural or visual clues.  For support scaffolding you might consider providing a pictorial Hear/Say chart for the students to use to guide their conversation.  Consider conducting as a whole-class activity first.   

• Play the Cultural/ Interlude Segment. Ask student to share any observations they made the images that they viewed.

Phase 1: 

• Play Activity 2-2 and instruct students to act out the sequence of actions with the video teacher.  Model the activity with the students.  Please see the following actions for each target phrase:
• Child - student looks up ( as a child would look up to an adult)
• Big boy - same signal as boy then raise hand above head
• Big girl - same signal as girl then raise hand above head

Phase 2

Use the Teacher Master Screen function to assess student listening comprehension for the target phrases or words (child, big boy, big girl).  Instruct students to act out the action sequences that you select.  Use informal observation to gauge student comprehension.  Randomly select and repeat words as needed to accurately assess current student understanding. 

• Play the wrap-up section.  Encourage the students to respond when the video teacher asks a question or says goodbye to the audience.  Listen for the “ting” sound and watch for the student response symbol to know when students should respond.  Please see the script for appropriate student responses. 
• Instruct the students to hold up their Language Leaper Cards as specific target words or phrases are mentioned in the wrap-up.
