Martin Anne V. English for Everyday Activities. A Picture Process Dictionary. Teacher’s Guide

New Readers Press, 2001. — 32 p. — ISBN 978-1-56420-258-1Teacher's Guide to English for Everyday Activities. A Picture Process Dictionary by Zwier L.J.This teacher’s guide groups lesson notes by section, and by chapters within each section. An overview of each section explains why the section’s content is important and offers some useful cultural contrasts or comments. Most sections include a Grammar Focus—a comment on key grammatical forms, particularly verb tenses. Sometimes the notes suggest introductory activities or offer comments about related processes or issues.
Most chapters within each section are treated individually in the lesson notes. Some with closely related topics are grouped together for ease of presentation and practice. The first part of the notes on each chapter may offer brief comments about U.S. culture, list useful materials, and highlight a special grammar point.
The middle part of the notes, Using the Pictures and Vocabulary, suggests ways to teach the chapter. It describes introducing students to the pictures, captions, vocabulary, and terms flagged “For Special Attention.” It also includes activities for practicing vocabulary and processes. Occasionally, a list called Related Vocabulary provides a starting point for applying the process to other situations.
The final part of the chapter notes, Expansion and Discussion, suggests a variety of communicative activities, role-plays, short oral or written activities, and topics for comparison and contrast, cultural analysis, and discussion. It often includes comments about appropriateness for age or proficiency groups.
