Effective speaking and self-correction in reading

1. Effective Speaking and Self-Correction in Reading

2. Activity Time! Divide the class into pairs. Give each pair different speaking scenarios, such as: -Explaining a game to a younger sibling. -Telling a joke to a group of friends. -Asking a teacher a question. -Giving a birthday speech at a party. Each student practices speaking in these situations, adjusting their tone , gestures , and volume . Their partner will give feedback on how well they changed their speaking style.

3. When you are speaking gestures are particularly useful as they help you to organize spatial and motor information into packages appropriate for speaking. Gesture: confers a cognitive benefit on the speaker

4. Gestures Gestures give a clue as to the inner workings of the mind of the speaker.

5. Gestures are important because they allow us to present information in a multidimensional manner. For example: Wiggling fingers convey a multitude of information in terms of time, trajectory, space, form and as a result this one image can present multi-dimensional meaning.

6. Types of Gestures 1. Deictic gesture/Pointing: Involves pointing and it is often used by children. 2. Iconic gesture: When we use a gesture which closely resembles a concrete object or event . 3. Metaphoric gesture: When a gesture is used to present an abstract concept. 4. Emblems/symbolic: Use of gesture to communicate a message typically recognized by the community.

7. Trivia!!! Teachers tend to use gesture more frequently in Math than in other lessons. Math teachers used from five to seven unspoken representations of mathematical ideas per minute.

8. Vocal Expression

9. The way we use our voice often gives away the true meaning of what we want to say. The voice is a leakier channel than the face, it is not so well controlled and is more likely to reveal true feelings. Pitch It has to do with the number of vocal vibrations of the vocal folds.

10. Voice intonation Vocal variety is the factor which students associate most positively with learning. Describes how the voice rises and falls in speech.

11. Other factors connected to persuasiveness Facial pleasantness and activity. Less direct shoulder orientation. The faster the rate of speech, the lower the estimation of dominance.

12. Kinds of pause Silent pause: Users of silent pauses can be interpreted as angry, contemptuous or anxious. Filled pauses: Users of filled pauses were interpreted as anxious or bored.

13. Volume How loud and quiet you are reading. For example, if you are reading a part of a poem or story where someone is angry, you might raise your volume high,

14. Speech rate the speed of one's articulation, including usually the pause time between sentences or between thought groups. how it can vary based on mood, thought, and personality.

15. Self-correcting while reading when a reader realizes his or her error and corrects it. Reread a word to read it correctly when you misread the word the first time.

16. Strategy Steps Pay attention as you are reading. While you are reading, if you realize that you don’t understand what is happening or if what you said doesn’t make sense – pause. Think about what is confusing. Back up to the part before. Look at the words on the page before or the sentence before. Look at the pictures or images or charts (if available). Think about what is happening or what the author is describing in this part. Change what you said before or revise your thinking. Think, “does it make sense now?”

17. Strategy Steps(Stories) Pay attention to the narration of a story. Pay attention to any dialogue tags (“Charlie said”or “Callie exclaimed”) If a character is telling the story you will see words like I, me, we, my If a narrator is telling the story you will see words like he, she, they, and character’s names. Think about who is telling the story to keep track of what is happening in the story. Consider who is telling the story as you get to know the character(s).

18. Essential questions: Why do you think it's important to change how we talk to different people? How can fixing our mistakes while reading help us improve?
