Go to the explanation video for #1. #1. What lexical item does Anthony provide a context for in his Watch Me Teach video?Note that the speaker asks a question at the end of his video. It is this item that Anthony wants to elicit from potential students. Answer to #1 promote Extra Notes You focused on presenting one lexical item in your Watch Me Teach video. It is not advisable to stuff more than one lexical item into your Watch Me Teach video because you don't have sufficient time to fully develop your contextual explanation within the time constraint. Your Watch Me Teach video does not attempt to convey the meaning of a lexical item. You chose an inappropriate lexical item to present. PFT Binder: Watch Me Teach Watch Anthony's presentation again. Think about how he presents from meaning to lexical item instead of the other way around. INTRODUCTION #2. Watch the video. Choose the most appropriate answer. A rich context contains enough relevant background information and detail to convey the meaning of your lexical item to the student. Remember, you have the opportunity for review and consolidation in your explanation video and during your live class. 2. What does Anthony do at the end of his Watch Me Teach video? He takes time to advertise his teaching services. He asks an appropriate elicitation question. He abruptly ends his presentation. Do not turn your Watch Me Teach video into a guessing game. The purpose is to convey a lexical item from meaning to word. Just as you probably had to do on your own pre-service level teacher training course. I think they still call it a situational presentation. Answer to #2 B. He asks an appropriate elicitation question. Extra Notes Your Watch Me Teach video contains an appropriately delivered elicitation question. Make your elicitation question less wordy. You can reach a broader range of students if you grade your language in your elicitation question a little more. You might consider pausing and taking a breath to signal the beginning of your elicitation question. Slow down a little more when you ask your elicitation question. Your video does not contain an elicitation question. PFT Binder: Watch Me Teach Read the transcript and the contextual gap fill activity in Anthony's PFT Binder.

My name is Anthony Williams, and I want to help you to learn. I want to tell you about a difficult homework assignment that I once had at university. It was in a Mathematics class at the University of British Columbia. The teacher wrote a problem on the board and the class had to try and solve that problem. I started to write the solution to the problem on the piece of paper in front of me, but after the 3rd step I could not continue. I didn't know what came next. The problem was too difficult for me...so I put up my hand and asked the teacher for help. What is one expression that I can use to tell the teacher about my situation? Rep #1.
