New Cell Phone Rule

Keep your phone in your locker every time, OR if you have it, please put it in the shoebox labeled “CELL PHONES” as soon as you enter the classroom.

If we see it, we take it for the class period and you can pick it up at the end of the period (Strike 1)

If we see it again another day, we call security to come pick it up (Strike 2)

If you feel you need to use it for translation or dictionaries, you can bring it to class, but you must still put it in the box.

Always ASK the teacher if you can use it or wait for the teacher to say it’s OK.

We’ll be using

iPads

so you will never need it

Saying you need it for classroom use is NOT an excuse. Slide4

Please create a 2-minute

skit showing a classroom example of the rule you were given:

There should be a GOOD example AND a BAD example.

Please write out the scrip of what each people will do any say

Roles: Teacher,

2-3 Actors,

1 scriptwriterTeacher: Gives class instructions and teaches lessonsActors: Act out the scenarioScriptwriter: Writes the script and helps people make sure they know how to say the words. The scriptwriter can have an acting role too.

Skit GuidelinesSlide5

Each student must have an equal role in the skit:Each actor should speak or do at least 2 things

Scriptwriter can have a role in the skit

Color-code the roles will help

Write the name of each speaker

Put actions (that aren’t spoken) and descriptions in

paranthesis

Put your final roles on index cardsPut final roles on index cardsPractice, practice, practice!

“Did anybody hear me? I said that today we are going to learn about phrasal verbs. Maria, what did I say?”

Maria: “I don’t know!!”

(She smiles like she’s

embarassed).Teacher: “Why weren’t you listening?”Maria: “Because everybody was talking.”Teacher: “OK please be quiet.”(John takes out a lighter to set a piece of paper on fire).

John: “Ha ha ha ha! This is great!”

(Teacher touches the chimes so that everybody will stop talking and nobody stops).

Teacher

(talking louder above all the voices): “Ok everybody, so phrasal verbs are verbs that have two words together. Like “get up. Can someone give me an example of another phrasal verb?”(Maria sneaks behind the teacher and steals popsicle sticks from the teacher’s desk).Mohammed: “What about the word “fall down?”(John throws a crumpled paper across the room while all the students keep talking and laughing and yelling).Teacher (she makes a scared and angry face): “I smell fire!”(Everybody in the class screams).(Mohammed goes to help put out the fire).Teacher: “Where are my popsicle sticks? John, did you take them?”John: “What did you say? I can’t hear you?”
