Instructor’s Name: Jacqueline George

Course Name & Number: ESL 096 (Reading for Non-Native Speakers I)

Next scheduled to be offered: Fall 2007

Learning Outcomes:Students need to be able to:

  • Write a basic summary and annotation on an assigned article from a periodical database; include author, article title, the periodical title and the date of publication

Knowledge base: What do Students need to know?

  • Correctly identify abstracts, full-text articles and book reviews
  • Understand the following elements in a database record:

article title, author, publication title, subject, people, document type, document features, section, and source type

  • Understand the difference between a summary and an annotation
  • Identify the essential elements of a summary and an annotation

Teaching: Whatwill students do to learn this?

  • Using a variety of sources, come to an agreement about the strict definitions of abstracts, articles and book reviews
  • Have 5-7 abstracts of varying lengths without any markings that identify them as abstracts. Have students determine which ones, if any, are abstracts and which are articles. (Ss will learn that abstracts can be both short and long.) Then, discuss the reasons for their choices. For the next exercise, provide copies of the 5-7 articles (still without any identifying information) and have students determine if they are full-text articles or book reviews. Discuss the reasons for their choices.
  • Finally, reveal the database records, using the 5-7 articles to illustrate each record element listed above – with a special emphasis on contrasting a full-text article and a book review.

Assignment: How will students practice what you want them to learn?

  • 6 times during the quarter, students will retrieve an assigned article and write either a summary and/or an annotation which includes author, title, periodical title and publication date.
  • Several quizzes (or as needed) on database records which consist of an actual record and questions about that record

Evidence of Learning: How will you know the students have done this well?

  • Successful completion of quizzes – these will be pretty straightforward (either you can identify the author or not!)
