The Exchange--Best Teaching Practices from around Ohio. Teacher to Teacher.
Nixon-Ponder, Sarah, Comp.
This publication shares three "best teaching practices" as identified by the Ohio Literacy Resource Center from responses from Ohio's adult literacy programs. "Identifying Errors in Writing" (Mary Cupilary) is a writing improvement strategy/lesson that involves selecting one sentence from a paragraph written by each student, writing them verbatim on a large chart with no author identified, and using them to help students identify errors and correct usage in grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. "Using Classroom Journals with ESL [English as a Second Language] Students" (Sandy Stewart) is designed around journal starters that are used to write one entry per class. The activity includes a teacher response to each entry, student creation of a spelling notebook from misspelled words, student creation of editing exercises, and compilation of journal entries into a book, generating text for the students to read. "Window on the World: Map Skills and Current Events" (Kathryn Jackson) involves the choice of four geographical sites each week from articles in the newspaper, social studies lessons, or students' requests; student location of specified information about the site and completion of exercises; and class discussion on Fridays of the sites and reason(s) why a site was in the news, of a theme for a social studies lesson, or something of particular interest.
