Your target in Review + Checkpoint: Family and Things

Review + Checkpoint: Family and Things is useful when you need to produce language, not merely recognise a rule. The evidence for this lesson is a new response that another person can understand.

Do not begin with the rule

Begin with meaning. Produce one example, then use the explanation to repair it.

First attempt: Complete a new example that proves you can i can describe my family without notes. Record it or write it, then improve one point.

Four models to compare

MoveExampleWhy it works
FamilyThis is my sister. Her name is Sana.Use a possessive before the noun
PossessionWe have got two children.Have got describes possession
DescriptionMy father is patient and quiet.Adjective after be
ObjectI call him every Friday.Object pronoun after the verb

Build the skill in three passes

  1. Meaning: decide exactly what the listener or reader needs to understand.
  2. Control: choose the pattern, vocabulary or communication move that carries that meaning.
  3. Transfer: change the context and produce a second answer without looking at the first.

The target is to i can describe my family without notes. Keep the first attempt. The difference between attempt one and attempt two is evidence of learning.
