For HW, students must write in the correct article that has been blanked out of the Materials: markers, Article Correction worksheet, New York Times article, listening CD Anticipated Problems: Ive only done a reading jigsaw in workshops, never with students before, so Im not sure how the students will respond.

Contingency Plans (what you will do if you finish early, etc.): If students finish early, I Have another listening activity to do with them. If things go later than planned, the listening activity can be postponed until the next class.

Post-Lesson Reflections: Overall, I am pleased with how the lesson went. Students really got into the error correction, I think because it was about their own sentences. The reading jigsaw also went well, although at the end during the class discussion, I had a hard time getting volunteers to explain what their section of the article was about. However, they were able to complete the task and also did a nice job writing the summary. We didnt get to the listening activity, which is fine. The next class can begin with that instead.

Error Correction Worksheet 1. I bought an computer yesterday. 2. He wanted to get new bike for birthday. 3. Since I had headache last night, I took my medicine. 4. My husband likes to walk in the Central Park every day. 5. Much of information is available on the Internet. 6. My sister said she wants the iPod. 7. Do you want to go for walk with me on Broadway? 8. In Japan there is lot of people on the train. 9. I need to buy an apples for making the pie. 10. The progress in medicine is important.
