MANAGING THE LESSON: WEEK 4

👥 ATTENDANCE: Mandatory for All Teachers.

📍 FOCUS: Moving effectively to correct errors before the presentation.

At the start of the meeting, a facilitator is chosen from among people who haven't been a facilitator recently (going around the group in-turn style).

📋 THE WORKSHOP PLAN (90 Minutes)

MATERIALS NEEDED: Notebooks, Pens, Whiteboard markers, Printout of "Monitoring" Video Transcript.

1. Map Drawing (0-20 mins)

• Draw: Each teacher draws a map of their actual classroom on a piece of paper (Desks, TV, Door).

• Mark: Draw an X where you usually stand.

• Evidence: Facilitator takes a photo of all the maps together.

2. INPUT & NEW ROUTE (20-50 mins)

• Read: Distribute the Video Transcript Printout (Topic: Monitoring)

• Watch: Play the "Teaching Speaking: Monitoring" video ( Teaching Speaking: Monitoring ). Observe how the teacher walks between the desks.

• Draw: On your map, draw a Dotted Line showing a new route that touches every single student desk. It must not stay at the front.

3. THE HOT NOTEBOOK (50-80 mins)

• Technique: Discuss the "Hot Notebook" rule: Do not just listen. Write errors down to fix later.

• Practice: Simulate a class.

  • One teacher acts like the Teacher with a notebook. Others are students talking.

  • Step A: Walk the route. Write down 1 specific error you hear (eg, "She goes").

  • Step B: Go to the whiteboard. Write the wrong sentence.

  • Step C: Ask the group: "Is this correct? How do we fix it?" Cross it out and write "She goes."

  • Repeat in-turn so everyone practices Steps A, B, and C.

✅ REQUIRED EVIDENCE (Zalo)

• In-meeting: Video of one teacher tracing their "New Route" on their map with a finger and explaining it.

• Homework (FINAL TASK; deadline: 2 days before the next English improvement meeting): Use the new route and Hot Notebook in class. Post a photo of the "Error Corrections" on your whiteboard at the end of a lesson. Caption: "My Hot Notebook corrections."
