Introduce yourself. Distribute
the dictionaries. Tell the students to put their name,
their first and last name, in the dictionary so that if
they lose it, it could be returned. |
|
Explain that you are
visiting their school to give each student their own personal
dictionary as a gift from the community, your members
are part of the business community. |
|
Let the children know that you and your colleagues want to see their success in school and in life. Try to engage the students
as much as possible, because they want to contribute to
the conversation. It is not unusual that in some classrooms
the students won’t have anything to say. |
|
Ask why people use dictionaries.
Then emphasize that in the business world it is important
to spell words correctly. A command of the English language
makes you more effective in your work. You may have your
own personal experience that you want to share. |
|
Look up at least one
word, but not more than three words. Talk about the meaning,
some words have multiple meanings. Some words they suggest
may be homonyms, ask which spelling they have in mind,
and then look up both. Or to do it quickly, ask them to
name a homonym and look up both words. |
