<div>Hi Again Ruth,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>here is what I do with "Frogw here are you?".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I split the class into 2 groups.</div>
<div>Phase 1</div>
<div>Group 1</div>
<div>The students receive a copy of the pictures "FRog where are you" and they are told taht they will be asked to retall the stiry to their class mates without the pictures in front of them. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Group 2 </div>
<div>I explain to the students "Story Grammar" (components and structures) and I tell them they will listen to a story from group 1 students and they will have to take it down and check whether they apply the principles of Story Grammar.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Phase 2</div>
<div>Group 1 students come back to class and individual group 1 students are place with individual group 2 students.</div>
<div>If you have students who speak the same non-English lg (I have often have Spanish-speaking and Russian-speaking studenst) put group1 students with group 2 students who speak the same non-Engl. lg (since Story Grammar is not onoy about English) they are encouraged to do it in their non-English lg.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Phase 3</div>
<div>Class discussion: group 2 students discuss whether and to what extent group 1 students follow Story Grammar principles (without knowing it).</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Phase 4</div>
<div>Samples of the Slobin corpus on Frog Story CHILDES (different age groups- 4 to 6 sampelsI are examined by the class, and especially with respect to differences and similarities between the CHILDES samples and the story told by Group 1 students. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the whole students love it. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Isabelle </div>

me have to understand why we're using the materials in order to play<br>the "game".<br><br>Has anyone done a course exercise with Frog Where Are You?<br><br>Thanks<br>Ruth<br>

<div class="h5">> It would be great to add more materials and detailed exercises. It doesn't matter whether or not they make<br>> use of CHILDES materials, as long as they deal with language development. Many thanks.<br>
