Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

*
Theme discussion: Follow basic procedures of the community circle time (as in K2.1.1.1.1) and introduce the theme for the week. Display a conversational poster (#12) on sources of water and some concrete materials related to the theme and engage learners in active discussion. Call on learners randomly to answer questions or contribute to the discussion. Have learners recite a poem/rhyme or sing a song related to them, e.g. "Rain, rain go away."
*
Have learners observe the Conversational poster and dictate a story out of the pictures or watch and discuss a video on the sources of water. Using Language Experience Approach (LEA) have the learners create an informational text on Sources of Water. Learners dictate the story to you and you write it on a big sheet for them. Let this become the reading text for the week
