Write a short dialogue, like one of the samples in Chapters 8-10, demonstrating the use of Teach-Okay in one of your favorite lessons.
Teacher: Class Class!
Students: Yes yes!
Teacher: Today in math we are going to learn about the word congruent. When I say teach, turn to your partner, and tell them how excited you are to learn about the word congruent. (Clap, clap) teach!
Students: (clap, clap) Okay! (Students will turn towards their partner telling them how excited they are to learn about the word congruent.)
Teacher: Class Class 1+1
Students: yes yes = (gesturing an equal sign) 2
Teacher: Hand and eyes (clasping hands together)
Students: Hands and eyes (clasping hands together ready to learn)
Teacher: congruent means two shapes are same shape and same size (I'll make a circle with my thumb and index finger on both hands. Then I'll overlap the circles, and then I'll pull them a part.). Using big gestures (Clap clap) Teach!
Students: (clap, clap) Okay! (Students will turn towards their partner. Using big gestures they will teach their partner what the word congruent means.)
Teacher: Ohhhh class!
Students: ohhhh yes!
Teacher: Great job! Now I'm going to show you some examples on the board. Using “yes-no way” cards you will give your answer to whether or not the shapes are congruent (making a circle with my thumb and index finger on both hands. Then I'll overlap the circles, and then I'll pull them a part.)(I'll show several examples on the board. Between each example, I'll check to see that 90% of my students are understanding the meaning of the new word. If they are not, I'll stop and go back to reteach the meaning.)
Teacher: (After going through the examples.) classity class class!
Students: yessity yes yes!
Teacher: I'm so proud of how well did learning about the word congruent (making a circle with my thumb and index finger on both hands. Then I'll overlap the circles, and then I'll pull them a part.). When I say teach, turn to your partner, and tell them how excited Mrs. Sowers is that you learned about the word congruent (making a circle with my thumb and index finger on both hands. Then I'll overlap the circles, and then I'll pull them a part.).(Clap clap) Teach!
Students: (clap, clap) Okay! (Students will turn towards their partner telling them how excited Mrs. Sowers is that they learned about the word congruent.)
Teacher: Class Class!
Students: Yes yes!
Teacher: let's begin our assignment for the day.
