In the first part of the dictation fill in the blanks with the words you hear.
If you do not know how to spell a word just spell it the best you can.
Please do not ask questions during the dictation, just concentrate on listening and writing.
You will be working with your partner on the right to correct and discuss the dictation when we are finished with part I.
Then, you will finish the rest of the letter by filling in the blanks your partner.
Dictation Guidelines
1. What was the purpose of this letter?
2. Do you think that Susan’s letter put the “D” and “F” in perspective (the big picture)? How would you tell your parents something that you know will upset them?
3. Can you think of a time where you had to prepare someone for the hard truth? What did you have to tell them, and how did you prepare them?
Discussion Questions- Think, Pair, Share
Write a letter back to Susan from her parents
Be sure to use a greeting and a closing
Refer to her letter as appropriate OR Tell of a time when you had to prepare
someone for bad news and describe how you handled it. Was your method effective?
Writing Prompt
How can we stimulate discussion and give structured support to ESL
students learning to write in different genres?

Partial- Cloze, Could be idioms, verbs, etc. Pair- Students work in pairs to combine two-part texts
into one continuous speech. One student has a copy of dictation “Student A,”
and the other student has dictation “Student B”.Student A dictates and Student B writes, then B dictates
and A writes.Dictogloss-the focus is getting the main idea or focusPrediction- Great as a Anticipation GuideNote Taking- students write down information they think
is importantTeacher or student created to fit what you want to teach!
