Step-By-Step Procedures:

1. Students should be assigned partners by random pairing of name sticks.

2. Students should begin by reviewing key phrases and verbs. They should do this in pairs in a read and quiz method.

3. To strengthen the review, as homework or in the next class, students should write an outline of what they'd like to say in their conversation. When students have completed their outline, they should create a realistic conversation.

4. After the conversation is complete, the students should check with the teacher before memorizing the dialogue. Any mistakes should be brought to the students' attention. Once correct, memorization and practice should begin.

5. Once memorized, the conversation should be performed for the class.

Closure (Reflect Anticipatory Set): If lessons are videotaped, students may watch their videos and compare them to the series that accompanies the book.

Assessment Based On Objectives: Students may be graded using a rubric based on objectives or be given narrative feedback. Also students could use their own videos to do a self-assessment.
