EDLG 5100 Teaching of English

May 31, 2022

5pm-7pm

Today’s pedagogy session focuses on connotation and denotation. We are interested in

1. What the terms mean


2. Deciding on what we will teach
3. Deciding how to teach it, and
4. What resources we will use

PROCESS

You have been placed in groups to perform the following tasks. Click here for group listing.

From 5pm-6.29pm work in your group on the following


tasks and create a slideshow to present your answers:

Understanding the concept & collecting resources


1. Read these pages Connotation reading_Stubbs.pptx
2. Locate or formulate a definition of denotation and connotation
3. Open your web browser, go to “google images” and search for “connotation”.
Compile/download examples of content that you would like to use in a lesson that you can
teach on the topic of ‘connotation’.
4. Be wary of non-examples posing as examples.
5. Note that in many instances words that convey positive connotation or denotation can be MADE
to have negative connotation through use of scare quotes.

Deciding what to teach


 Based on what you read and the examples you collected, what is it that you will have to teach in
a lesson on denotation and connotation? [what are the critical features of connotation/words
used connotatively?]
 What is the RATIONALE for your lesson? (To show students.....)
 What is your teaching point?
 What instructional objectives can you set? Remember that verbs such as
‘understand/comprehend’, ‘realize’ and ‘appreciate’ are unusable because they cannot be
assessed.
 Suggest a possible sequence of instruction, including the set induction, that you can employ for
teaching the concept. You must identify what the teacher will model and how the teacher will
engage students.
 Suggest how you may integrate technology in the lesson (can something like storyboarding
work?)

Presentation 6.30-7.00pm
Nominate someone from your group to present your ideas. If there is insufficient time in the session,
please do a ZOOM recording and post the link to the entire class, including to the three tutors.
