Dr. Felicia Ciappetta

Group 3 (High Intermediate) - Reading

Dr. Ciappetta started the class by discussing an article the class was given to write a summary about "Healthcare Around the World".  The students have a google doc. that they share with Professor Ciappetta.  The google doc. allows Dr. Ciappetta to monitor and follow the progress of each student summary.

The goal is for the students to be able to write good notes and to put the notes in their own words.  The students were given 8 minutes to read the article.  After reading the article the student along with a partner discussed answers to 2 questions they were given. The students had to read the article a second time.  After reading the article a second time the students had to take notes and summarize the main points of the article.   The goal is not for the students to memorize the entire article.  The students had to read the article a third time and this time the student was required to complete their remaining notes.  

At the end of class, the students were given the chance to complete summarizing their article. The summary must be in essay form, at least 3 paragraphs, with a clear, introduction, body, and conclusion.

  Date: 8/26/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Listening and reading comprehension Feedback: This was a listening and reading comprehension activity inspired by Jean’s lesson. I talked with Hyobin about some American traditions surrounding the 4th of July. She told me about her experiences with it, which got her engaged in the topic of the content for the lesson. We watched a Crash Course video on the 4th of July, then she read the script for it, and then she did a comprehension quiz. I gave her feedback on her answers at the end, and we left some more time for discussion about other parts of American culture. Lessons learned: Having a variety of learning media is a great way to mix up the classroom. The warm-up discussion got Hyobin interested, the video solidified her interest and entertained her, and the script kept her focused.

  Date: 8/27/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Creative writing Feedback: Essay writing isn’t the only kind of writing, so I decided to teach Hyobin a bit about creative writing. She has a pretty active imagination, so we talked about how she could implement that into writing. We talked about some creative topics and then discussed each to see how creative we could get. I then had her try out some writing of her own, which I gave feedback on after.  Lessons learned: I learned it’s good to throw in some topics of interest to keep students engaged. Hyobin mentioned she liked writing, and I knew creative writing was something that could combine interests with an educational opportunity. I asked her how the lesson was, and the response was positive (proving my thoughts correct).

Date: 8/14/25 Location: Zoom Topic/Skill: Writing practice Feedback: In this session, I had Hyobin write an essay based on the sources she read in the previous session and the outline she came up with. Most of the session was dedicated to this, but I would give her feedback throughout when she brought questions to my attention. At the end, we had a few minutes for discussion, where I was able to give feedback as well. Lessons learned: I think I needed to give more time for writing, because expecting a lengthy essay isn’t entirely possible for a 1-hour session. We ended up needing to give more time to writing in the next session.
