Re: Scaffolding (draft) by Tea Khachoshvili - Wednesday, 25 September 2013, 1:27 PM I have considered your suggestions and questions and have modified my session plan a bit. I have skiped some activities and I have wrttien another draft. I hope you will read it again and write to me your feedback again. Objective is the same. Stage 1: "Get to know" activity" (It has not been changed) Objective: Ps will get to know each other and this activity enables us to make cooperative and comfortable atmosphare. Time: 10 mn Stage 2: Warm up/brainstorming: activity|: T. reads a story ( A toddler was learning to walk.As she took her first tentative steps, her father walked behind her, holding both hands above her head as she awkwardly lurched forward.As she gained confidence, the father held only one hand,walking to the side,keeping an eye out for toys and other objects that could trip her. After awhile, he let go but continued at his daughter's side to catch her if she fell.When the child became tired or the terrain got bumpy, Dad grabbed her hand to make sure she didinot fall and skin a knee.Eventually, his daughter both walked and ran on her own. (Adapted from Cazden,1988)) Then T. asks Ps. some questions: e.g which teaching strategy this story come with; what is saffolding what theory is foundation of this strategy.what is the main concept.
