Unit 3 Communication Workshop
Reading
Exercise 1
Purpose: to help students complete a survey report based on information in charts and graphs
· Direct students to the survey. Point out the three categories, Drinks, Meals, Snacks. Ask "Can you think of an example for each?" Elicit appropriate responses, for example, water, lunch, fruit. If you feel your students are ready to do the exercise, you may skip this step.
· Read and understand the sample text. Direct students to the survey. Say " Read the Healthy Eating Survey. " Monitor as students read, offering assistance as needed. After students have finished reading, direct them to the charts and graphs to the right. Explain that the charts and graphs represent the answers from a class that took the survey. Ask "Which charts or graphs go with which parts of the survey?" Elicit The first set of charts goes with the first section, the second set of graphs goes with the second section, and the third set of graphs goes with the third section. Point out the chart labeled Question 1. Ask students to identify what a, b and c stand for. In Students should indicate that a stands for choice a, b stands for choice b, and c stands for choice c. Then ask " What did most students answer for Question 1?" Elicit or provide b. Point out that b is bigger than a and c, so that means that most students answered 6 for Question 1. Have students work in pairs or small groups to figure out the rest of the information in the charts and graphs. Ask questions similar to the ones above to confirm comprehension.
· Direct students to the survey report. Say "Now read the survey and the charts and graphs again. Complete the survey report" Monitor as students complete the report. If students need support, you may have them work in pairs or small groups.
· Go over the answers, having individual students read the sentences aloud.
