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.
