I am working with high school students to prepare them for the GED. I have
them two days a week from 8 AM to 1 PM. This is essentially the last chance
the high school is giving them as they have been through every other
program. They are all English speakers and all can read and write. They
have a difficult time focusing. Any thoughts as to how to structure the
time and types of activities that could be helpful. Any other thoughts are
welcome too.
I do a daily lesson on DOL (Daily Oral Language) and DOM (Daily Oral Math).
I find that teaches a wealth of skills.
DOL comes from a purchased book. (I don't know the publisher. You can order
DOL on various grade levels. I think we use grade 7.) Two sentences are
written on the board. Every mistake that could be made is made. Students
learn capitalization, punctuation, use of quotes, apostrophes, proper/common
nouns subject/verb agreement singular/plural, appositives, and others.
For DOM I pick something out of my head. Sometimes I do area and/or
perimeter, parts of a circle, %, +/-, x// whole numbers, fractions or
decimals, use of calculator, squares, square roots, calculating a discount
or tip. I do one toppic on a day. I try to make it general enough so
everyone gets something.
Yesterday I had students calculate on paper and then with the Casio
calculator adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals. I used
money, which they understood and decimals that weren't money (Such as 37 -
1.25 =). I emphasized "what is the trick here?" and we talked about
decimal placement. It was a great lesson.
Another lesson I did was to have students add costs of items, determine the
tax, find the total, and then the amount of change from a given amount.
Another great lesson.
Sometimes I do a lesson on parpagraph writing. I have the students describe
but not name a favorite fruit or animal (or anything else). Then I have the
students read their parpafgraphs outloud, and we guess. I mention this is a
good game to play orally with children. Then I talk about topic and
supporting sentences.
These lesson are both EFF and GED related. They are real life skills,
similar to what is on the GED test. I always ask my students how they will
use what they learned in hteir real life. They can always tell me
something.
I hope this helps.
